Answer:
Pears: 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Constant:
3x + 5x + 2x = 150
10x = 150
x = 15
Multiply ratio with constant from above:
oranges : apples
3 * 15 : 5 * 15
45 : 75 ==> 45 oranges: 75 apples
pears : apples
2 * 15 : 5 * 15
30 : 75 ==> 30 pears: 75 apples
Check:
45 oranges + 75 apples + 30 pears = 150 fruits
These are the same line when you graph. So there are infinite solutions to this system.
Answer:
1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 4 nickels, 2 dimes, and 6 quarters. That means a total of 12 coins, half of which are quarters.
(realistically, if she wanted to, she could probably get a quarter every time if she felt for the size)
In order to reduce ANY fraction to lowest terms, find any common factors
of the numerator and denominator, and divide them both by it. If they still
have a common factor, then divide them by it again. Eventually, they won't
have any common factor except ' 1 ', and then you'll know that the fraction is
in lowest terms.
Do 15 and 40 have any common factors ?
Let's see . . .
The factors of 15 are 1, 3, <em>5</em>, and 15 .
The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4,<em> 5</em>, 8, 10, 20, and 40 .
Ah hah ! Do you see that ' <em>5</em> ' on both lists ? That's a common factor.
So 15/40 is NOT in lowest terms.
Divide the numerator and denominator both by 5 :
15 / 40 =<em> 3 / 8</em>
3 and 8 don't have any common factor except ' 1 '.
So 3/8 is the same number as 15/40, but in lowest terms.
Answer:
v = 80 cubic unit
Step-by-step explanation:
volume = length × height × width
v = 5unit × 2unit × 8unit
v = 80 cubic unit
