Answer:

2/3 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

We have the following data

1/2 gallons is the same as 0.5 gallons

hence 0.5 gallons will cover 3/4 of his deck

           x gallons will cover 1 of his deck

cross multiply we have

3/4*x = 0.5*1 gallons

3x/4= 0.5

3x= 2

divide both sides by 3

x= 2/3

Hence 2/3 gallons will cover the entire deck

Two bonds are available on the market as follows:
erastova [34]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining simple interest is expressed as

I = PRT/100

Where

P represents the principal or initial amount invested.

R represents the interest rate.

T represents duration of the investment in years

From the information given,

P = $750

R = 5%

T = y years

I = the total return of Bond 1 - principal

I = 1000 - 750 = $250

Therefore,

250 = (750 × 5 × y)/100

250 = 37.5y

y = 250/37.5

y = 6.7 years

Are the expressions x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 1 + x and 5x + 4 equivalent? Why or why not?
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

yes

they are equivalent because lets say the X = 3 then you would have to answer

3 + 3 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 3

and that would = 19

and then on the other equation

5 x 3 + 4 = 19

So the both equal the same.

The cost of 6 sandwiches and 4 drinks is $53. The cost of 4 sandwiches and 6 drinks is $47. How much does one sandwich cost?
melomori [17]

In this question, we're trying to find cost of one sandwich.

To find this, we must make a systems of equation from the given information:

We would represent sandwiches as "s" and drinks as "d".

Systems of equations:

6s + 4d = 53

4s + 6d = 47

Solve for s:

6(6s + 4d = 53)

-4(4s + 6d = 47)

36s + 24d = 318

-16s - 24d = -188

--------------------------

20s = 130

Divide both sides by s

s = 6.50

This means that one sandwich costs $6.50

Answer:

$6.50

A cable car can safely carry n people thete are alreafy 3/4n people on the cable car only 12 more people can board the cable car
ipn [44]

Answer: 48 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You know that n represents tha number of people that the cable car can safely carry.

2. If you know that there are \frac{3}{4}n and only 12 more people can board it before it becomes unsafe, you can write the following expression:

n=\frac{3}{4}n+12

3. Now, you must solve for n.

4. Then, the number of people that the cable car safely carry is:

n-\frac{3}{4}n=12\\\frac{1}{4}n=12\\n=12*4\\n=48
