Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The parallel lines divide the sides proportionally, so ratios of corresponding sides are the same.
(x +5)/15 = (5x +1)/35
Multiplying by 105, we have ...
7(x +5) = 3(5x +1)
7x +35 = 15x +3 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
32 = 8x . . . . . . . . . subtract 7x+3 from both sides
4 = x . . . . . . . . divide by 8
Answer:
To completely fill the sandbox will cost $56
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we calculate volume of the rectangular-shaped sandbox:

We know that density of sand is 100 pounds per cubic foot. Then, to fill the sand box that has a volume of 8 cubic foot, we calculate by rule 3:
1cubic foot..............100 pounds
8 cubic foot.............x pounds


We will need 800 pounds of sand to fill the sandbox, then we can calculate by rule 3 the number of bags needed and next the total cost of them:
50 pounds.......1bag
800 pounds.....x bags

To calculate the cost:
1 bag ..................$3.50
16 bags.................$x

To completely fill the sandbox will cost $56
First find the numbers that are divisible by 3.
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
There are 8 numbers divisible by 3 so there are 16 that are not divisible by 3.
P(not div by 3) = 16/24 = 2/3
1 dimes are worth 10 cents.
Multiply.
6 * 10 = 60
Put in a fraction with the denominator given.
60/100
Reduce the fraction.
60/100
30/50
15/25
3/5
Best of Luck!
