Answer:
3.5 Grams
Step-by-step
set 2grams/60lbs equal to xgrams/105
x representing the amount of medicine needed for a 105lb child
Then you divide 60 by 105.
60/105=1.75
Now you multiply 2 by 1.75.
2 x 1.75 = 3.5
3.5 is your answer because 105 is 1.75 times more lbs than 60lbs
meaning you would need 1.75 times the amount of 2grams
to determine the value of x, which is 3.5grams
Answer:
She can go 120 km before she runs out of fuel
It will take 2 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
150 km is the distance
60 km/ h is the speed
The gas tank is 20 liters
We can go 6 km per liter
Fuel costs .60 dollars per liter
We need to determine how far she can go on a tank of gas
20 liters * 6 km / liter = 120 km
She can go 120 km before she runs out of fuel
120 km = 60 km/ h * x hours
Divide each side by 60
120/60 = x
2 hours
I'm pretty sure that would go down into the negatives.
Answer:
9 3/4 pages = x
Step-by-step explanation:
change 3 1/4 to a decimal
working with the fraction
3 1/4 /8 = x/ 24
3 1/4 (24) = 8x
13/4 (24) = 8x
316/4 = 8x
78 = 8x
78/8 = x
9 3/4 = x
For this problem, I'd use cross-multiplication.
9/12 = x/8.
When cross multiplying, multiply 12*x and 9*8. This leads to a new equation:
12x = 72.
Then you solve as an algebra problem.
*Divide 12 on both sides*
x = 6.
