Answer:

7.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of sand to cement = 24kg : 5kg

Today he needs to make the same type of mortar mix, but he will use 36kg of sand.

Let

x = quantity of cement used

Ratio of sand to cement = 36 kg : x kg

Equate both ratios

24 kg : 5 kg = 36 kg : x kg

24/5 = 36/x

Cross product

24 * x = 5 * 36

24x = 180

x = 180/24

x = 7.5

x = quantity of cement used = 7.5 kg

Need answer to 2/3+5/4
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

23/12 or 1 and 11/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Your first step is that you need to gain a common denomitor. In this scenario, this is 12. To get this, you can either go through the given factors such as 3 having the factors of 6, 9, and 12 and 4 having the factors of 8, and 12.

Another method is the multiply the two given denominators together, but there are certain instances where you shouldn't do that.

Now that you have a common denominator, you need to change the numerators to accomadate the denominators. For 3 to turn into 12, you need to multiply it by 4, thus you have to do the same to the numerator. For 4 to turn into 12, you need to multiply it by 3. This will give you these two new fractions:

8/12 + 15/12

Add the numerators to get 23/12 and then simplify the two numbers to get the mixed number of 1 and 11/12.

Hope this helps!

6a What is the Answer?
zavuch27 [327]

We have been provided a diagram which tells us that Patti drew vertical line segments from two points to the line in her scatter plot. The first point she selected was dwarf crocodile. The second point she selected was for an Indian Gharial crocodile.

We can see that dwarf crocodile's bite force is closer to line of best fit than Indian Gharial crocodile. Indian Gharial crocodile seems to be an outlier for our data set.

Therefore, Patti's line have resulted in a predicted bite force that was closer to actual bite force for the dwarf crocodile.
