Answer:

<h2>3.375yards of blue fabric </h2><h2>6.125yards of green fabric</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

step one:

given data

blue fabric costs $9 a yard.

green fabric costs $13 a yard.

Let x represent the number of blue yards of fabric purchased and

let y represent the number of green yards of fabric purchased.

Step two:

The quilter needs at least 9.5 yards of fabric in total.

x+y>=9.5--------1

The quilter can spend up to $110 on fabric.

9x+13y<=110----2

from equation

x+y>=9.5

x=9.5-y

put x=9.5-y in equation 2 we have

9(9.5-y)+13y<=110----2

85.5-9y+13y=110

4y=110-85.5

4y=24.5

y=24.5/4

y=6.125

put y=6.125 in x=9.5-y to find x

x=9.5-6.125

x=3.375

Hence the quilt can purchase

3.375yards of blue fabric

6.125yards of green fabric

3/4 x 3 2/5 - 5/5(find the value of each of the following)

Triss [41]

The value of the given expression is $\frac{-13}{20}.$

Solution:

Given expression is $\frac{3}{4} \times3\frac{2}{5}-\frac{5}{5}$ .

Let us first convert mixed fraction into improper fraction.

$3\frac{2}{5}=\frac{(3\times5)+2}{5}=\frac{17}{5}$

Substitute this in the given expression.

$\frac{3}{4} \times3\frac{2}{5}-\frac{5}{5}=\frac{3}{4} \times\frac{7}{15}-\frac{5}{5}$

$=\frac{21}{60}-\frac{5}{5}$

To simplify the above expression, 21 and 60 are cancelled by 3.

$=\frac{7}{20}-\frac{1}{1}$

Do cross multiplication to make the denominator same.

$=\frac{7}{20}-\frac{20}{20}$

$=\frac{7-20}{20}$

$=\frac{-13}{20}$

The value of the given expression is $\frac{-13}{20}.$

Find the value of X.

klemol [59]

Answer:

I think answer is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

BD = DA

BE = EC

Now, BD/BE = DA/EC

or, x + 5/2x = 4/3

or, 3x + 15 = 8x

or, 15 = 8x - 3x

or, 15 = 5x

or, 15/5 = x

or, 3 = x

Therefore x = 3 <u>Ans</u>
