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

If the sales tax in Maple Town is 9.5%, how much would an ice cream of $4.25 cost with the tax added? Please explain.
faltersainse [42]
To find the sales tax, you need to find 9.5% of 4.25

4.25*.095 = <span>.40375

Now we need to add the sales tax to the price.

4.25 + </span>.40375 = <span>4.65375
Because dollars one have 2 decimal points we should round this to 4.65

Hope this helped!

Algebra: <br><br> y= x+4<br> y= -x+2
Vikki [24]
To solve for the variables y and x we substitute the second equation into the first meaning that y = -x +2 you substitute y for (-x+2)
so

(-x +2) = x +4
add x to both sides
2 = 2x + 4 
subtract 4 from both sides
-2 = 2x
divide by 2
-1 = x

now plug x back into the original equation

y = (-1) + 4
y = 3

and 

y = -(-1) + 2
y = 1 +2
y = 3

there you have it x = -1 and y = 3

Hope this helps ;)

Which of the triangles below is not a right triangle?
Nataly [62]

Answer:

B)\ 6ft,8ft,12ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Pythagorean Theorem : In a right triangle, square of hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other sides.

(A)\ 3cm,4cm,5cm\\5^2=25\\3^2+4^2=9+16=25\\5^2=3^2+4^2

Hence these sides represent a right triangle.

 

(B)\6ft.8ft,12ft\\12^2=144\\6^2+8^2=36+64=100\\12^2\not=6^2+8^2

Hence this does not represent a right triangle.

(C)\27cm,36cm,45cm\\45^2=2025\\27^2+36^2=729+1296=2025\\45^2=27^2+36^2

This represents a right triangle.
