Statement Problem: P, Q and R are three buildings. A car began its journey at P, drove to Q, then to R and returned to P. The bearing of Q from P is 058° and R is due east of Q. PQ = 114 km and QR = 70 km. ( Draw a clearly labelled diagram to represent the above information.
Solution:
The ratio would be 4:1.
Try to reduce the ratio further with the greatest common factor (GCF).
The GCF of 64 and 16 is 16
Divide both terms by the GCF, 16:
64 ÷ 16 = 4
16 ÷ 16 = 1
The ratio 64 : 16 can be reduced to lowest terms by dividing both terms by the GCF = 16 :
64 : 16 = 4 : 1
Therefore:
64 : 16 = 4 : 1
Answer:
18
ZAOC and ZCOB are supplementary angles.
Find the
Negative , you always put the biggest numbers value at the end
Let the number of 250g=0.25 kg jars be x and that of 500g=0.5 kg jams be y;
therefore:
total number of jars ws
x+y=511
x=511-y..........i
total mount kgs was:
0.25x+0.5y=186.5....ii
substituting i in ii
0.25(511-y)+0.5y=186.5
127.75-0.25y+0.5y=186.5
solving for y we get:
0.25y=186.5-127.75
0.25y=58.75
y=58.75/0.25
y=235 jars
and
x=511-x
=511-235
=276
hence we conclude that there was 235 jars with 0.5 kg almond and 276 jars with 0.25 kg almonds
