Answer:

5.28 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

A farmer sells 8.8 kilograms of pears and apples at the farmer's market and 2/5 of this weight is pears.

Since a fraction is a part of a whole, 1, then, the fraction repressing the weight of the apples is:

1 - 2/5 = 3/5

Therefore, the weight of apples is/

3 / 5 * 8.8 = 5.28 kg

She sold 5.28kg of apples at the farmer's market.

To make a certain shade of orange calvin uses a rate of 2 ounces of yellow paint to 5 ounces of red paint if he uses 200 ounces
ycow [4]
Answer: 80 ounces of yellow paint

Working:
As we know 2 ounces of yellow paint to 5 ounces of red paint, we can make a ratio:

2:5

Then we look at the question which says 200 ounces of red paint, so we replace the 5 ounces of red paint in the ratio with 200.

2:200

Then we figure out how much the 5 has been multiplied by to get to 200. We do this by doing

200 divide 5 = 40

Therefore we times the 2 ounces of yellow paint by 40 which gets us:

80:200

We can think of it as a fraction too to confirm our answer:

Simplify 80 / 200

We get 2 / 5.

Find the length of the missing side
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

c = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right angle triangle we can use the Pythagoras theorem that states that c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2} (where c is the Solve for  hypotenuse and "a" and "b" are the legs of the right angle triangle). From here we know that the answer to this question is....

c^{2} = a^{2} + b^{2}\\c^{2} = 15^{2} + 8^{2} \\c^{2} = 225 + 64\\c^{2} = 289\\c = \sqrt{289} \\c = 17
