Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We first need to define a couple of variables. Let s = the cost of 1 squash and z = the cost of 1 zucchini.
Now lets translate the words into algebra:
"The cost of 5 squash and 2 zucchini is $1.32" ===> 5s + 2z = 1.32
"Three squash and 1 zucchini cost $0.75" ===> 3s + z = 0.75
There are several ways to solve systems of equations. Let's use substitution. We can find what z equals in terms of s by manipulating the second equation:
3s + z = 0.75
-3s -3s
------------ -------------
z = -3s +0.75
Now lets substitute (-3s + 0.75) into the first equation for z, then solve for s:
5s + 2(-3s + 0.75) = 1.32
Can you handle it from here?
(Hint: Once you have solved for s, you can substitute that value back into either of the equations and solve for z.)
Answer:
70

70 combinations of four books can be made from eight different books.
Answer:
1:2, 2:4, 3:6
Step-by-step explanation:
If you times 1:2 by 2, you get 2:4. If you times 1:2 by 3, you get 3:6.
You have to multiply each individual number in the ratio.
<h3>
Answer: 8/15</h3>
Work Shown:
x = (1/3) divided by (5/8)
x = (1/3) * (8/5)
x = (1*8)/(3*5)
x = 8/15
