A fruit stand sells apples, peaches and tomatoes. Today, they sold 4 apples for every 5 peaches. They sold 2 peaches for every 3

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

He sold 32 apples, 40 peaches and 60 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

4 apples are sold every 5 peaches and

3 tomatoes are sold every 2 peaches.

i.e. the ratio is apples: peaches = 4 : 5 ...... (1)

and the ratio peaches: tomatoes = 2 : 3 ...... (2)

Peaches are the common link here in both the ratio terms.

Let us make the peaches value in both the <em>ratio as 10 </em>to make it equal in both the ratio terms.

Multiply (1) by 2 and (2) by 5:

The ratio becomes;

apples:peaches = 8:10

peaches: tomatoes = 10:15

In other words, the ratio becomes:

apples:peaches:tomatoes = 8:10:15

Let the number of apples = $8x$

Let the number of peaches = $10x\\$

Let the number of tomatoes = $15x$

We are given that total fruits are = 132

$\Rightarrow 8x+10x+15x = 132\\\Rightarrow 33x = 132\\\Rightarrow x =4\\$

So, number of apples sold = $8 \times 4 = 32$

Number of peaches sold = $10 \times 4 = 40$

Number of tomatoes sold = $15 \times 4 = 60$

Estimate the square root of 50 to the hundredths place

Anarel [89]

We have the following expression:
root (50)
Rewriting we have:
root (50) = root (2 * 25)
root (2 * 25) = 5 * root (2)
5 * root (2) = 7.071067812
Round to the hundredths place:
root (50) = 7.07
Answer:
the square root of 50 to the hundredths place is:
7.07

If a = b, then ac = bc. This is called the ________ ________ of equality. what is it?

aniked [119]

This is called the <u>Multiplication property of equality.</u>

The multiplication property of equality states that whatever you multiply on one side, you must multiply the same quantity on the other side of the equation. In this case, variable c is multiplied to both sides of the equation.
