5/1 is the answer................................
To solve the food one you need to first multiply the pounds of peaches by the amount per pound (1.75 * 18.4) then when you have the total of that, add 2.89 for the price of the pineapple. Once that is complete you should have a total amount for all of the food, next you just divide that number by 4 and you'll have the amount of money each person paid.
As for the other question, to solve it all you need to do is add the total amount of pounds of trash team A has collected for both week 1, 2 and 3, then multiply it by 3 and you'll have your answer.
First, solve for the volume (V) of each cylinder by the equation,
V = πd²h / 4
where d and h are diameter and height, respectively. Substituting the given values,
V = π(6.19 cm)² x (6 cm) / 4 = 180.56 cm³
To determine the number of cylinders needed, divide the volume of the solid block by the volume of the cylinder,
n = 360 cm³ / 180.56 cm³ = 1.99
Thus, approximately 2 cylinders are needed to mold one block of gold.
Let's let the weight of a large box be L, and the weight of a small box be S.
We know that 5 large boxes and 3 small boxes is 120kg, so:
5L + 3S = 120
We also know that 7 large boxes and 9 small boxes is 234kg, so:
7L + 9S = 234
You can multiply the first equation by 3 to get:
15L + 9S = 360
See how now both equations have 9S? We can now subtract one from the other:
(15L+9S) - (7L+9S) = 360-234
8L = 126
L = 15.75
Now sub this value back into an equation:
(5x15.75) + 3S = 120
3S = 41.25
S = 13.75
Double check these values
(7x15.75) + (9x13.75)
= 110.25 + 123.75
=234, which is consistent with above.
So a large box is 15.75kg, and a small box is 13.75kg.
Hope this helped
