Mathematics

diamong [38]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

You will need 3 6/13 quarts of peanuts to make 3 jars of peanuts butter

Step-by-step explanation:

To make this answering seamless, we make the mixed fractions into improper fractions

Hence 2 1/2 becomes 5/2

while 2 1/6 becomes 13/6

Here we are told that a bag with 5/2 quarts of peanuts can make 13/6 jars of peanuts butter

Hence, x quarts of peanuts will make 3 jars of peanuts butter

To get the value of x, what we simply need to do is to cross multiply.

Thus, we have

5/2 - 13/6

x - 3

3 * 5/2 = 13/6 * x

15/2 = 13x/6

26x = 90

x = 90/26

x = 45/13

x = 3 6/13

Sierra is selling bracelets to raise money for the Language Club at school. Each bracelet with yellow beads sells for $5. Each b
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Correct answer is:

5y+6r=660\\y=2r+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Number of bracelets with yellow beads is represented by y

Each bracelet with yellow beads is sold for $5.

Total money raised by bracelets with yellow beads = Number of bracelets sold \times Money raised by sale of one such bracelet = 5y

Also Given that Number of bracelets with Orange beads is represented by r

Each bracelet with orange beads is sold for $6.

Total money raised by bracelets with orange beads = Number of bracelets sold \times Money raised by sale of one such bracelet = 6r

Given that total money raised by sale of both type of bracelets is $660.

so, the first equation becomes:

5y+6r=660 ....... (1)

It is also given that "<em>The number of bracelets with yellow beads that Sierra sold is 8 more than twice the number of bracelets with orange beads</em>"

\Rightarrow r =2r+8 ...... (2)

So, by equation (1) and (2), the system of equations is:

5y+6r=660\\y=2r+8

The Jacksons went on a 700 mile trip. On the first day they drove 6 and 2/3 hours and on the second day the drove 5 and 3/4 hour
likoan [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of miles is 700.

On the first day, they drove 6 and 2/3 hours. We would convert 6 and 2/3 hours to improper fraction. It becomes 20/3 hours. On the second day, they drove 5 and 3/4 hours. Converting to improper fraction, it becomes 23/4 hours. Total number of hours that they drove during the first two days is the sum of hours driven on the first day and hours driven on the Second day. It becomes

20/3 + 23/4 = (80 + 69)/12

= 149/12 hours
