So its 2$ per guest since
20$/10 guests
2$/1 guest
and if she has 48$ its
48$/24 guests
So she can have 24 guests max if she spends 48$

Find the missing side

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Hi there!
The question here is basically asking us to use ratios to find the length of the missing side. To do this, we must first construct a ratio. The best one would be -
$\frac{84}{12} = \frac{56}{x}$
Now, just cross multiply and solve for x.
$\frac{84}{12} = \frac{56}{x}$
$84x = 672$
$x = 8$
Therefore, the length of the missing side would be 8. Hope this helped!

To make a punch Anna adds 8 ounces of apple juice for every 4 ounces of orange juice if she uses 32 ounces of apple juice which

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If our ratio is apple juice to orange juice, then the proportion will be

$\frac{a}{o}:\frac{8}{4}$

If we are looking for how much orange juice she needs if she uses 32 ounces of apple juice, then 32 goes on top of a new ratio and x goes on bottom:

$\frac{a}{o}:\frac{8}{4}=\frac{32}{x}$

That's the proportion. If you need to solve it, cross multiply to get

8x = 128 so

x = 16 ounces of orange juice

Find the solution set for the following problem. 5 diminished by 3 times a number is at most 11.

leva [86]

For this case, the first thing we are going to do is define the following variable:
x = unknown number
We now write the following inequality:
5-3x <= 11
We clear x:
5-11 <= 3x
-6 <= 3x
-6/3 <= x
-2 <= x
The solution set is:
[-2, inf)
Answer:
the solution set is:
[-2, inf)

Very urgent!!!!!

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

number of terms=9

Step-by-step explanation:

$t_{1}=6\\t_{5}=18\\\\t_{n}=t_{1}+(n-1)d\\18=6+(5-1)d\\18-6=4d\\4d=12\\d=12/4=3\\s_{n}=162\\s_{n}=\frac{n}{2}[2t_{1}+(n-1)d]\\162=\frac{n}{2}[2(6)+(n-1)3]\\162 \times 2=n(12+3n-3)\\324=n(3n+9)\\3n^2+9n-324=0\\n^2+3n-108=0\\n^2+12n-9n-108=0\\n(n+12)-9(n+12)=0\\(n+12)(n-9)=0\\n=-12,9\\n=-12 (rejected)$

as number of terms can't be negative.
