Answer:

Bag 1: 20

Bag 2: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the amount taken out of bag 2

Then the amount left in each bag can be written as:

Bag 1: 50-3x

Bag 2: 50-x

Since we know that half of bag 2 is bag 1, that gives us:

50-3x = 1/2(50-x)

-> 50-3x = 25-x/2

Now lets isolate x and solve:

25 = 5x/2

-> 50 = 5x

-> x = 10

So plug x bag in for the original equations:

Bag 1: 50-3x = 50-3(10) = 20

Bag 2: 50-x = 50-10 = 40

How many square feet of outdoor carpet will we need for this hole?
QveST [7]
The whole ends up being 42 ft².

Area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height. 
So that lil triangle piece is 1/2 * 2 * 3 = 1/2 * 6 = 3

Now we do the rectangle piece. Area of a rectangle = length * width
So that rectangle is 3 * 7 = 21

If you take away those two, you are left with a trapezoid. 
Area of a trapezoid is 1/2 * (base 1 + base 2) * height
Base 1 is the width of the rectangle which is 3. Base 2 is the 6. The height is the given 11 feet minus the 7 feet from the length of the rectangle which is 4. 

Plug all this in to the formula you get 1/2 * (6 + 3) * 4 = 1/2 * 9 * 4 = 1/2 * 36 = 18.

Now add all of your areas together;

21 + 3 + 18 = 24 + 18 = 42

-0.312 as a fraction in simplest form
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

It's -39/125

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite the decimal number as a fraction with 1 in the denominator

Multiply to remove 3 decimal places. Here, you multiply top and bottom by 103 = 1000

Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of 312 and 1000, if it exists, and reduce the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by GCF = 8

Therefore

X=39/125

In conclusion,

−0.312=−39/125
