Answer:
see below
Step-by-step explanation:
Usually, we're concerned about the relationship of y to x. Here, the question is asking you to consider the relationship of x to y.
The easiest way to find the answer to this one is to check the given explanations to see which is true. You can pretty much ignore the first row of the table and just look at the second row where x=5 and y=15.
- it is NOT TRUE that x is 3 times y (5 is not 3 times 15)
- it is TRUE that x is 1/3 of y (5 is 1/3 of 15)
- it is NOT TRUE that x is 5 times y (5 is not 5 times 15)
- it is NOT TRUE that x is 1/5 of y (5 is not 1/5 of 15)
_____
If you know your multiplication tables, you know that 15 = 3×5, so ...
5 = 15/3
5 = (1/3) × 15
The relationship of these numbers should not be a mystery.
Answer: 20%
Step-by-step explanation: 3/15 = 1/5 = .20 = 20%
Answer:
Your answer will be x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
Five plus 6 times a number is equal to 21 minus 2 times the number
Your equation is this:
5+6x=21-2x
Subtract 6x from both sides
5+6x-6x=21-2x-6x
5=21-8x
subtract 21 on both sides
5-21=21-21-8x
-16=-8x Divide -8 on both sides
2=x
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
240

25% of 240 is 60
Answer:
H. 552
Step-by-step explanation:
Circle graph information:
- Milk and eggs = x%
- Fruits and vegetables = 38%
- Cereals = 10%
- Meat and fish = 10%
- Sugar = 8%
- Fats and oils = 4%
Total consumption = 1840 pounds per person
First, calculate the percentage of milk and eggs (the value of x).
Total percentages = 100%
⇒ x + 38 + 10 + 10 + 8 + 4 = 100
⇒ x + 70 = 100
⇒ x = 30
Therefore, 30% of food consumption is milk and eggs.
To calculate the number of pounds of milk and eggs the average American consumes each year, simply find 30% of the total consumption:
= 30% of 1840
= 30% × 1840
= 552
Therefore, the average American consumes 552 pounds of milk and eggs each year.
