Number of Spearmint gum = 27 pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Let the total number of peppermint gum and spearmint gum in the container = X
Ratio of peppermint gum to spearmint gum= 2 : 3.
Total ratio = 2+ 3=5

Step 2

we were given that peppermint gum= 18 pieces , so total number of gums will be calculated as
Ratio of peppermint/ Total ratio x Total number of gums = Number of peppermint
2/5 x X= 18
X=(18X 5) / 2 = 45
X= Total number of gums = 45
Number of spearmint gum will now be
Ratio of spearmint/ Total ratio x Total number of gums = Number of spearmint
3/5 x 45= 27
Therefore Number of Spearmint gum = 27 pieces

Two points A and B on a plan represent two localities 12 m apart. Given that the segment AB is 6cn long, find the scale used to
natka813 [3]

Answer:

The scale is 1:200

Step-by-step explanation:

On the plan we have the drawing as 6 cm

In real representation, we have the distance as 12 m

Firstly we have to convert to same unit

In this case, we use the cm for convenience

Mathematically, 100 cm is 1 m

Thus, 12 m

will be 12 * 100 = 1,200 cm

So, we have the ratio as;

6 cm : 1,200 cm

and that is 1:200 (since 6/1200 = 1/200 and in ratio form, we have that as 1:200)

Purchasing a TV that is 20% off will save $180.
Flauer [41]

Answer:

$900

Step-by-step explanation:

a)Off given on purchasing a TV=  20%

20% on TV = $ 180

Let the original price of TV set $ x

According to question,

20% of x= $180

\frac{20}{100} ×x= $180

x = $ 180× 5

x= $ 900

Hence, Original price of TV set= $ 900

b)  By second method,

20%= $180

1%= $ 9

100% = $900

Hence, the original price $ 900

Violin strings are parallel. Viewed from above, a violin bow in two different positions forms two transversals to the violin str
svlad2 [7]

ANSWER



x=10


and


y=20




EXPLANATION



Since corresponding angles are equal,


4x+y=60---(1)




Alternate angles are also equal, therefore,


8x+y=100---(2)



Equation (2) minus equation (1) gives,



\Rightarrow 4x=40




\Rightarrow x=10




We put x=10 in to equation (1)





4(10)+y=60



y=60-40




y=20
