Answer:

3 gallons of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

If 3/4 of a gallon covers 2/5 of a wall, this means that a half of 3/4 gallons can cover 1/5 of a wall.

By knowing this, you can just make up your own expression

(the trick is to find a way to break it down to one, so you can multiply and manipulate it to save yourself some brain cells)

1/5+1/5+1/5+1/5+1/5= whole wall if  3/4/2=3/8  = amount of paint to cover 1/5 wall, then  (3/8)⋅5=3/8+3/8+3/8+3/8+3/8=15/8≈1.875

since we're talking about real life it would be 2 gallons of paint instead of 1.875 gallons to paint the whole wall

42 more than half a number is the same as four times the number. What is the number?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]



1/2x + 42 = 4x
-1/2x           -1/2x
------------------------
42 = 3.5x
/3.5   /3.5
------------------------
12 = x
the number is 12


explanation: 42 more than 1/2 of a number can be written as 1/2x + 42
four times a number can be written as 4x.
42 more than 1/2 of a number is equal to 4 times a number. So 1/2x + 42 = 4x.

Hope this helps :)

a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 770 burgers and cheeseburgers on Monday there were 70 more cheeseburger sold tha
aliina [53]
Let the number of hamburgers = h

Let the number of cheeseburgers = c

Now we translate the given information into equations.

"combined total of 770 [ham]burgers and cheeseburgers"
h + c = 770

<span>"there were 70 more cheeseburger sold than hamburgers"
</span><span>
</span><span>c = h + 70
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>Our system of equations is
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span />h + c = 770
c = h + 70

The second equation is already solved for c, so we replace c of the first equation with h + 70.
h + h + 70 = 770
2h + 70 = 770
2h = 700
h = 350

Answer:  350 hamburgers were sold on Monday.

<h3>What is permutation?</h3>

The formula for permutation is given as:

Permutation = \frac{n!}{n - r!}

Where:

  • n is the total number of objects = 9
  • r is the number selected = 3

Substitute into the formula

Permutation = \frac{9!}{9 - 3!}

P( 9, 3) = \frac{9!}{6!}

P( 9, 3) = \frac{362880}{720}

P( 9, 3) = 504 ways

Thus, the number of ways of she can do it is 504 ways

There are 43 tiles in a bag. The colors are red, blue, green and yellow. Find the
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

43/13, 129/26, 129/13, 645/26

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the number of red tiles, x represent the number of blue tiles, y represent the number of green tiles and z represent the number of yellow tiles. Hence:

w + x + y + z = 43    (1)

x = 3/5(w + x)

2x/5 = 3w/5

x = 3/2(w)  

x = 5w/2 - w = 3w/2  (2)

y = 2/3(x + y)

y/3 = 2x/3

y = 2x = 2(3w/2) = 3w    (3)

z = 5/7(y + z)

2/7(z) = 5y/7

z = 5y/2 = 5(3w)/2 = 15w/2   (4)

substitute x = 3w/2, y = 3w and z = 15w/2 in equation 1:

w + 3w/2 + 3w + 15w/2 = 43

13w = 43

w = 43/13

x = 129/26

y = 3w = 129/13

z = 645/26
