If 14 people feeds on 3 cups of rice. how much rice feeds 17 people

2 answers:

8 0

The answer is:

17*(3/14)

More detailed;

3/14 gives us how many it takes to feed 1 person, then we times the amount it takes to feed one person by 17 (to get 17 people)

3.6 cups <br />dividing 3 by 14 gives you the answer for each person then just times by 17.

PLEASE HELP (30 POINTS) Solve the rational equation x/3 = x^2/x + 5 , and check for extraneous solutions.

anygoal [31]

Option C: $x=0$ and $x=\frac{5}{2}$ are the solutions.

Explanation:

The equation is $\frac{x}{3} =\frac{x^{2} }{x+5}$

We shall determine the value of x, by simplifying the equation.

$\begin{aligned} x(x+5) &=3 x^{2} \\ x^{2}+5 x &=3 x^{2} \\ 2 x^{2}-5 x &=0 \\ x(2 x-5) &=0 \end{aligned}$

Thus, $x=0$ and $x=\frac{5}{2}$ are the solutions.

Now, let us check whether the solutions are extraneous solutions.

Let us substitute $x=0$ in the original equation to check whether both sides of the equation are equal.

$\begin{aligned}&\frac{0}{3}=\frac{0^{2}}{0+5}\\&0=\frac{0}{5}\\&0=0\end{aligned}$

Thus, both sides of the equation are equal.

Hence $x=0$ is a true solution.

Now, Let us substitute $x=\frac{5}{2}$ in the original equation to check whether both sides of the equation are equal.

$\begin{aligned}\frac{\left(\frac{5}{2}\right)}{3} &=\frac{\left(\frac{5}{2}\right)^{2}}{\left(\frac{5}{2}\right)+5} \\\frac{5}{6} &=\frac{\left(\frac{25}{4}\right)}{\left(\frac{15}{2}\right)} \\\frac{5}{6} &=\frac{5}{6}\end{aligned}$

Thus, both sides of the equation are equal.

Hence, $x=\frac{5}{2}$ is a true solution.

Thus, solutions are not extraneous.

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.
