Answer:
x = 6.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up using proportion and cross multiply to solve:
8/10 = x/8
x = 6.4
Answer:
#5 x=8, #6 x=5
Step-by-step explanation:
Theyre vertical so for number 5 you would have the equation
5x+15=55
-15 -15 from both sides
5x=40
divide by 5 from both sides and you get
x=8
Same thing vertical so you would have
16x+7=87
-7 -7 from both sides
16x=80
divide by 16 from both sides
x=5
Answer: 5 bags of sand
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
There are 8 elementary schools
3 Tons of sand is needed
It is contained in a 50- Pound bag
1 ton is equivalent to 2000 Pound
No of 50- Pound bag required is

These 40 bags will be required in 8 schools. So, each school requires
