Answer:

Each students provides 13 pounds of meal

Step-by-step explanation:

Total students in Ms. Lee class = 220

Total pounds of food collected = 2,860

how many meals did each student provide?

Meals provided by each student = Total pounds of food collected / total number of students

= 2,860 / 220

= 13 pounds

Each students provides 13 pounds of meal

Note: 1.2 pounds of food equals one meal

1.2 pounds : 1 meal = 13 pounds : x meals

1.2/1 = 13/x

1.2 * x = 1 * 13

1.2x = 13

x = 13 / 1.2

= 10.83 meals

Approximately 11 meals to the nearest number

Note:1 kilogram is 2.2 pounds

1 kg : 2.2 pounds = x kg : 13 pounds

1/2.2 = x / 13

1 * 13 = 2.2 * x

13 = 2.2x

x = 13/2.2

= 5.91 kilogram

Approximately x = 6 kilograms

G=x-c/x. for x<br><br>how do yoy make this an equation for x? help
zzz [600]
1.
\displaystyle \text{if }\quad G=x-  \frac{C}{x} \\\\

x \neq 0

Multiply both sides by x:

\displaystyle Gx=x\bigg(x- \frac{C}{x}\bigg )\\\\Gx=x^2-C

Subtract from both sides Gx:
Gx-Gx=x^2-C-Gx\\x^2-Gx-C=0

Then solve this equation:

\displaystyle x^2-Gx-C=0\\\\x_{1,2}= \frac{G\pm  \sqrt{G^2+4C} }{2}

2.
\displaystyle\text{if}\quad G= \frac{x-C}{x}

x \neq 0

Multiply both sides by x:

Gx=x-C

Subtract from both sides Gx:

x-C-Gx=0

Then solve this equation:

\displaystyle x-Gx-C=0\\x(1-G)=C\\x= \frac{C}{1-G}

Zoey can tile 1 1/4 square yards in 1/3 hour. What is her unit rate?
alukav5142 [94]
We know that Zoey can tile 1.25 square yards in 20 minutes (which is 1/3 of an hour) so we wanna see how much she can tile in an hour. Multiply 1.25 by 3.

1.25•3= 3.75 or 3 3/4
