Answer:
2.75 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
- City A received x inches of rain.
City B experienced three times the amount of rainfall than City A, therefore :
- City B received 3x inches of rain.
Since both cities received 11 inches of rainfall in total.
We have that:
x+3x=11
4x=11
Divide both sides by 4
x=2.75 Inches
Therefore, we City A received 2.75 inches of rain.
Okay the answer is 30 because if you divide 180 by 6 then that would give you 30 pounds as his weight. :)
Answer:
$7,563
Step-by-step explanation:
We will round to the nearest whole number to round to the nearest dollar
$7,563.27
since we have 27 cents ( .27), that is less than 50 cents, we leave it alone
$7,563.00 or $7,563
11/16 is greater so 5/8 is less
There are a couple of ways to look at this.
1) Set up a ratio: 2 cups sugar to 5 cups flour = 5 cups sugar to x cups flour
2/5 = 5/x
cross multiply
2x = 25
x = 12 1/2 cups flour
2) Look at the factor by which the cups of sugar was increased and increase
the cups of flour by the same factor.
2x = 5
x = 2.5
The sugar was increased by a factor of 2.5 so increase flour by same factor.
5(2.5) = 12 1/2 cups flour
