Because they want you to get an accurite answer on your math paper and not some messed up number
SOLUTION - GIVEN = Sara has two bag with 60% & 28% peanut.
prove = How much the peanut is used to make 10 pound of 45%
peanut.
TO PROOF - Assume that
let x be the value of the peanut used by sara from the bag
60% peanut bag.
let ( 10 - x) be the value of peanut used by sara from 28% peanut
bag.
as given the bag become of the 10 pound which contain
45% of peanunt.
thus we have
0.60x + 0.28 ( 10 - x ) = 0.45 (10)
0.60x + 0.28 ( 10 -x ) = 4.5
0.60x + 2.8 - 0.28 x = 4.5
0.60x - 0.28x = 4.5 - 2.8
0.32x = 1.7
x = 5.3125 peanut is taken from the 60% bag.
& 4.6875 peanut from the 28% bag.
Answer:
x = 1/21
Step-by-step explanation:
7 = 3/9x
Multiply both sides by 9x
7 x 9x = 3/9x x 9x
9x cancels out on the right side
63x = 3
Divide both sides by 63 to isolate x
63x/63 = 3/63
x = 1/21
Add 3/4 which becomes 16/4 which becomes 4
Answer:
26 students per classroom
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, the ratio 234 students:9 classrooms must be converted to:
s students:1 classroom
To convert the ratio, 9 was divided by 9 to get 1, and so you must also divide 234 by 9 to maintain the same ratio, which gives us the answer:
26 students: 1 classroom
