<em>Question:</em>

<em>If one basket contains five bottles each weighing 7 1/4 and the other basket has six apples each weighing 6 1/2 ounces. Which basket is heavier and by how much ?</em>

Answer:

The basket of bottles weighs more than the basket of apples by 3\frac{3}{4} ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Bottles = 5

Weight(Bottle) = 7\frac{1}{4}

Apples = 6

Weight(Apple) = 6\frac{1}{2}

Required

Determine which basket is heavy

and by how much?

First, we need the total weight of each basket.

For the bottles' basket

Total\ Weight = Weight * Bottles

Total\ Weight = 7\frac{1}{4} * 5

Total\ Weight = \frac{29}{4} * 5

Total\ Weight = \frac{29 * 5}{4}

Total\ Weight = \frac{145}{4}

Total\ Weight = 36\frac{1}{4}

For the bottles' basket

Total\ Weight = Weight * Apples

Total\ Weight = 6\frac{1}{2} * 5

Total\ Weight = \frac{13}{2} * 5

Total\ Weight = \frac{13* 5}{2}

Total\ Weight = \frac{65}{2}

Total\ Weight = 32\frac{1}{2}

By comparing both total weights, 36\frac{1}{4} > 32\frac{1}{2}

Hence:

The basket of bottles weighs more than the basket of apples

Calculating the difference:

Difference = 36\frac{1}{4} - 32\frac{1}{2}

Difference = \frac{145}{4} - \frac{65}{2}

Difference = \frac{145 - 130}{4}

Difference = \frac{15}{4}

Difference = 3\frac{3}{4}

Hence:

It weighs more by 3\frac{3}{4} ounces

a rectangle has a length of (x+3) centimeters and a width of 1/2x centimeters. If the perimeter is 24 centimeters, what is the l
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

The length of the rectangle is 9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The length of rectangle(l) = (x+3) cm and a width of rectangle (w) = \frac{1}{2} x cm a

Also, perimeter of rectangle is 24 cm.

Perimeter of rectangle is to add the lengths of all the four sides.

Perimeter of rectangle (P) is given by;

P=2(l+w)

Substituting the value of P = 24 cm , l = (x+3) cm and w =\frac{1}{2} x

then,  

24 = 2 (x+3+\frac{1}{2} x)

Divide by 2 both sides of an equation;

12 = x+3+\frac{1}{2}x

Combine like terms;

12 =\frac{3x}{2} +3

Subtract 3 from both the sides we get;

12-3 = \frac{3x}{2} +3-3

Simplify:

9 =\frac{3x}{2}

Multiply both sides by \frac{2}{3} we get

x = 9 \times \frac{2}{3} = 3 \times 2 = 6

Therefore, length of rectangle(l) = (x+3) = 6+3 = 9 cm

A one-topping pizza costs $15.00. Each additional topping costs $1.25. Let x be the number of additional toppings. You have $20
pantera1 [17]
So,

Our total will be equal to 20.  If we want 1 additional topping, we will have an additional $1.25.  <span>If we want 2 additional toppings, we will have an additional $2.50.  So we can just multiply the number of additional toppings by 1.25 to get the additional amount.

1.25x

However, you will have already spent $15.

1.25x + 15 = 20

This is option B.

P.S. You will be able to put exactly 4 additional toppings.</span>
