Answer:

1/8 of a kilogram of couscous.

Step-by-step explanation:

With the information given, to be able to determine the kilograms of couscous that each person gets, you have to divide 1/4 kilogram that is the amount that the man has by 2:

\frac{1}{4}÷2= \frac{1}{4}*\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{8}

According to this, the answer is that each person gets 1/8 of a kilogram of couscous.

A square picture is mounted on a larger rectangular sheet of poster paper leaving a border around the picture of 2 inches on the
Bumek [7]

An equation that can be used to determine the value of x is x² + 5x - 36 = 0.

To answer the question, we need to know what equations are

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression which shows the relationship between two variables.

Given that the x represents the length of side of the square picture and the rectangular sheet poster leaving a border around the picture of 2 inches on the bottom and 1 inch on each remaining sides.

Then,

  • The width of the rectangular poster is W = x + 2 + 1 = x + 3.
  • The length of the rectangular poster is L = x + 1 + 1 = x + 2

So, the area of the rectangular sheet poster is A = LW

= (x + 2)(x + 3)

Since the rectangular sheet poster has an area of 42 square inches, A = 42 in².

So, (x + 2)(x + 3) = 42

x² + 3x + 2x + 6 = 42

x² + 5x + 6 - 42 = 0

x² + 5x - 36 = 0

So, an equation that can be used to determine the value of x is x² + 5x - 36 = 0.

Write an equation and solve: Your math homework has 6 more than three times the number of problems you have on your history work
love history [14]

Answer:

33 math problems

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set a few variables:

Number of math problems = m

Number of history problems = h

We know that in total, we have 42 problems.

m + h = 42

We also know that our math homework has 6 problems more than 3 times the number of history problems.

m = 3*h + 6

So m is 3 times h, plus 6.

m + h = 42

We can subtract h from both sides of this equation.

m = 42 - h

Now we can put this value for m, 42-h, into our other equation.

m = 3*h + 6

42 - h = 3*h + 6

Subtracting 6 from both sideS:

36 - h = 3*h

Adding h to both sides:

36 = 3*h + h

36 = 4*h

Dividing both sides by 4:

9 = h

h = 9

We know that the number of math problems is the following:

m = 42 - h

Let's put the value for h, 9, into this equation:

m = 42 - 9

m = 33

Answer: 33 math problems

Natalie made a nut mixture that contains
Harman [31]

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

10 kg of mixed nuts that contain 60% peanuts

60(10)

plus

15 kg of a different brand of mixed nuts. with x% peanuts

x(15)

=

That makes 25 kg with 54% peanuts

54(25)

--------------------------

Equation

60(10) + x(15) = 54(25)

600 + 15x = 1350

Subtract 600 from both sides

15x = 750

Diviede both sides by 15

x = 50

50%
