Answer:

144 cloves

Step-by-step explanation:

You separate 42 bulbs of garlic into two groups:one for planting and one for cooking.

We have a ratio of planting to cooking

Planting : Cooking

You will plant 3 bulbs for every 4 bulbs that you will use for cooking.

Hence: 3 : 4

The total of their proportion = 3 + 4 = 7

Hence:

The number of garlic you plant =

3/7 × 42 = 18 bulbs of garlic

The number of garlic you use to cook =

4/7 × 42 = 24 bulbs of garlic

We are also told that:

Each bulb has about 8 cloves. How many cloves of garlic will you plant?

From the calculation above , we know the number of bulbs of garlic been planted

= 18 bulbs.

Hence:.

1 bulb = 8 cloves

18 bulbs = x

x = 8 cloves × 18 bulbs

x = 144 cloves

Therefore, you will plant 144 cloves of garlic

Answer: X = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

7x - 99 = 2x + 1 --Take 2x from both sides

-2x       -2x

5x - 99 = 1 -- add 99 to both

   +99  +99

5x = 100 --Divide by 5

÷5   ÷5  

x = 20

Write a polynomial function in standard form with given zero x=2,-1,-5
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

Done below!

Step-by-step explanation:

(x - root)

(x - 2)(x - (-1))(x - (-5)) = (x - 2)(x + 1)(x + 5)

(x^{2} +x-2x-2)(x+5)=(x^{2} -x-2)(x+5)=x^{3}+5x^{2}-x^{2}   -5x-2x-10\\\\=x^{3}+4x^{2} -7x-10

What is the hypotenuse?<br><br> legs are 10 and 11
Anit [1.1K]
Hey!

You have to use the Pythagorean Theorem

a² + b² = c²

a = 10
10² = 10 × 10 = 100

b = 11
11² = 11 × 11 = 121

100 + 121 = 221

√221 = 14.9(rounded)

Answer ⇒ 14.9

Hope this helps! :)

If you are going somewhere that is 60 miles away and you're going 40 miles per hour the whole time how long will it take you to
Masja [62]
Velocity * time = distance

40 (miles / hour) * t (hours) = 60 (miles)

Take note how the units work. miles/hour * hours = miles. This is an indication that a formula we picked is correct.

Now, looking at our formula (and neglecting units at this point)

40t = 60
t = 60/40
<span>t = 1.5 hours</span>
