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

For a translation 4 units down you would subtract 4 from each y value and 5 units right you would add 5 to each x value.
Your resulting points would be.
A'(-1,1), B'(-1,-2), C'(3,-2), D'(3,2)

Car rentals involve a $130 flat fee and an additional cost of $31.67 a day. what is the maximum number of days you can rent a ca
Vladimir79 [104]
Represent the number of days by x. With this representation, the variable cost of the rental is 31.67x. The total cost is the sum of the fixed and variable costs. This value should not be more than $500. The equation below shows the relationship.
                                          130 + 31.67x ≤ 500

Solving for x gives x ≤ 11.68
Thus, the maximum number of days to rent the car is only 11 days.
