Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.2307692307692.

The first step is to find the proportionality constant.

The formula is

z = kx/y

1.2307692307692 = k * 4/13          Multiply both sides by 13

1.2307692307692 * 13 = 4k

16 = 4*k                                            Divide by 4

k = 16/4

k = 4

=================================

z = k*x/y

x = 9

y = 20

k = 4

z = 4 *9/20

z = 36/20

z = 1.8

Answer:

&\boxed{\text{1.800 000 000 0000}}

Step-by-step explanation:

z \propto x\\\\z \propto \dfrac{1}{y}\\\\z \propto \dfrac{x}{y}\\\\z = k \left (\dfrac{x}{y} \right )

Solve for k

\begin{array}{rcl}1.2307692307692& = & k\left (\dfrac{4}{13} \right )\\\\16.000000000000 & = & 4k\\k & = & 3.9999999999999\\\\z & = & 3.9999999999999\left (\dfrac{x}{y}\right )\\\end{array}

Calculate the new value of z

\begin{array}{rcl}z & = & 3.999 999 999 9999 \left (\dfrac{9}{20}\right )\\\\& = &\boxed{\textbf{1.800 000 000 000}}\\\end{array}

A dairy wishes to mix together 1,000 pints of milk that contains 8% butterfat.If the mixture is to be made from milk containing
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

<u>800 pints</u> of 5% butterfat and <u>200 pints</u> of 20% butterfat is needed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A dairy wishes to mix together 1,000 pints of milk that contains 8% butterfat.

If the mixture is to be made from milk containing 5% butterfat, and cream

containing 20% butterfat.

Now, to find the pints of each is needed.

Let the pints of 5% butterfat be x.

And the pints of 20% butterfat be y.

<em>So, the total pints of milk:</em>

x+y=1000

x=1000-y  ......(1)

<em>As, given:</em>

<em>1,000 pints of milk that contains 8% butterfat.</em>

<em>The mixture of milk containing 5% butterfat, and cream containing 20% butterfat.</em>

According to question:

5(x)+20(y)=8(1000)

5x+20y=8000

Substituting the value of x from equation (1):

5(1000-y)+20y=8000

5000-5y+20y=8000

5000+15y=8000

<em>Subtracting both sides by 5000 we get:</em>

15y=3000

<em>Dividing both sides by 15 we get:</em>

y=200.

<em>The pints of 20% butterfat = 200 pints.</em>

Now, to get the pints of 5% butterfat we put the value of y in equation (1):

x=1000-y

x=1000-200

x=800.

<em>The pints of 5% butterfat = 800 pints.</em>

Therefore, 800 pints of 5% butterfat and 200 pints of 20% butterfat is needed.

6-1/2z=2/3<br> what is z?
Marina CMI [18]
6 - 1/2z = 2/3
subtract 6 from both sides
- 1/2z = -16/3
divide both sides by -1
1/2z = 16/3
rewrite
1z/2 = 16/3
multiply both sides by 2
1z = 32/3
z = 32/3 or 10 2/3

Hope this helps :)

zaharov [31]
The dollhouse is 156 inches long.

Area is computed by multiplying the length to its width.

A = L * W

Use the formula and substitute the values given in the problem.
A = 1248 sq. inches
w = 8 inches
L = ?

1248 = L * 8

L = 1248 sq. in/ 8 in
L = 156 inches
