Answer:

3.24kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion method will be used to find the mass of the pears.

Let "A" represent the unknown mass of the Apple

A/8.1=3/5

Cross multiply

A×5=8.1×3

5A= 24.3

Divide both sides by the coefficient of A which is 5

5A/5=24.3/5

A= 4.86kg

Therefore the unknown mass of Apples is 4.86kg

To find the mass of the pear subtract the mass of Apples from the total mass

= 8.1-4.86

= 3.24kg

Thus, the farmer sells 3.24kg of pears in the market.

Answer:

weight of pear = 3.24 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

A farmer sells 8.1 kg of apples and pears at the farmers market. 3/5 of the weight is apples and the rest is pears.

3/5 of the total weight = apple weight

3/5 × 8.1 = 24.3/5 = 4.86 kg of apple

The combine weights of the apple and pears = 8.1 kg. Since the weight of apple is 4.86 kg, the weight of pear can be gotten when you subtract the weight of apple from the combined weight.

weight of pear = combine weight - weight of apple

weight of pear = 8.1 - 4.86

weight of pear = 3.24 kg

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Time = distance/speed

Considering the first stage,

Speed = 20km/hr

Distance = 5km

Time = 5/20 = 0.25 hour

Considering the second stage,

Speed = 10km/hr

Distance = 5km

Time = 5/10 = 0.5 hour

Considering the third stage,

Speed = 25km/hr

Distance = 5km

Time = 5/25 = 0.2 hour

Considering the third stage,

Speed = 20km/hr

Distance = 5km

Time = 5/20 = 0.25 hour

Therefore, the time it took the biker to complete the race is

0.25 + 0.5 + 0.2 + 0.25 = 1.2 hours

Solve for x. <br><br> Brainlest for anyone who helps!! <br><br> thanks you
gavmur [86]
<h3>Answer:  C) 0</h3>

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

Explanation:

If points F and E are the midpoints of segment VU and segment ST respectively, then segment FE is the midsegment of the trapezoid. The midsegment is parallel to the bases, and the midsegment's length is found by adding up the bases VS and UT, then dividing by 2.

(VS + UT)/2 = FE

(29 + x+17)/2 = 23 ... plug in given info; isolate x

(x+46)/2 = 23

x+46 = 23*2 ... multiply both sides by 2

x+46 = 46

x = 46-46 ... subtract 46 from both sides

<h3>x = 0</h3>
