Answer: 48 small containers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount of small containers of the tea base that he will need to make 12 quarts of the iced tea be represented by x.

The information given can be formed into an expression as:

8/x = 2/12

Cross multiply

2 × x = 8 × 12

2x = 96

x = 96/2

x = 48

Therefore, 48 small containers will be needed.

Alex buys 2 1/2 pounds of grapes. He buys 1 1/4 times as many pounds of apples as grapes. How many pounds of apples does he buy?
galina1969 [7]
Given:
grapes = 2 1/2 pounds
apples = 1 1/4 times as many pounds as grapes.

For easier computation, let us convert these fractions into numbers with decimal places.

2 1/2 pounds = 2.50 pounds
1 1/4 times = 1.25

Apples = 2.50 pounds * 1.25 = 3.125 pounds of apples.

Or we still use fractions. We need to convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions.

2 1/2 = 5/2
1 1/4 = 5/4

5/2 * 5/4 = 5*5 / 2*4 = 25/8 is simplified to 3 1/8 pounds

Craig made a mobile using geometric shapes including triangles shaped as shown. For what value of X and Y can you use a triangle
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

x = 3

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given triangle FGH,

m∠F + m∠G + m∠H = 180° [Triangle sum theorem]

60° + 90° + m∠H = 180°

m∠H = 30°

If the given triangles FGH and TUV are congruent, their corresponding sides will be equal in measure.

m∠F = m∠T

7y + 4 = 60°

7y = 56

y = 8

GH ≅ UV

8x - 12 = 12

8x = 24

x = 3
