Answer:
Part A: (1/2)m
Part B: (1/3rd)b and 3mx
Step-by-step explanation:
Price of each baseball is=$m
Price of other equipment are=$b collectively
Total amount He spent on purchasing equipment is =(m+b)$
Part A:
in part A the amount on purchasing other equipment than baseball is getting doubled i.e. $2b <u> then value of m will be (1/2)half of the total amount spent on purchasing baseball i.e. (1/2)m</u>
Part B:
in part B the amount spent on purchasing baseball is getting tripled i.e. <u>3m</u>, then value of b(amount of purchasing other equipment) is<u> (1/3rd) of total</u> <u>amount spent on purchasing other equipment</u> and value of mx will be<u> 3mx</u>
Set up a proportion. 4 3/4 cup broth is to 10 servings as x cups broth is to 1 serving soup.
x= amount of broth in one serving
(4 3/4)/10= x/1
cross multiply
(4 3/4)(1)= 10x
convert 4 3/4 to improper fraction
(19/4)(1)= 10x
19/4= 10x
divide both sides by 10
19/4 ÷ 10= x
to divide fractions, multiply by reciprocal of 10
19/4 * 1/10= x
multiply numerators; multiply denominators
(19*1)/(4*10)= x
19/40 cup= x
ANSWER: 19/40 cup in one serving
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
In the last step, you can see that the fraction
has been multiplied by its reciprocal
, making it cancel out. The reciprocal has been multiplied to both sides, so all you need to do is multiply
·
:
6 · 5 = 30
3 · 1 = 3
<u><em>So now you should have the fraction:</em></u>
x = 
<u><em>But, you can still simplify the fraction by dividing 30 by 3:</em></u>
x = 10
