One whole jar= 3/3 or 1
Set up a ratio comparing the two sets of measurements.
2 2/4 ounces of peanuts is to 2/3 of a jar as x ounces of peanuts is to 3/3 of a jar.
x= ounces in 1 whole jar
2 2/4 / 2/3= x / 3/3
cross multiply
(2 2/4 * 3/3)= (2/3 * x)
convert to improper fractions
10/4 * 3/3= 2/3x
multiply numerators; multiply denominators
(10*3)/(4*3)= 2/3x
30/12= 2/3x
divide both sides by 2/3
30/12 ÷ 2/3= x
to divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 2/3
30/12 * 3/2= x
multiply numerators; multiply denominators
(30*3)/(12*2)= x
90/24= x
simplify by 6
15/4 or 3 3/4 ounces= x
ANSWER: 3 3/4 ounces can make a full jar.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
Let p(x) = x3 + ax2 + bx +6
(x-2) is a factor of the polynomial x3 + ax2 + b x +6
p(2) = 0
p(2) = 23 + a.22 + b.2 +6 =8+4a+2b+6 =14+ 4a+ 2b = 0
7 +2 a +b = 0
b = - 7 -2a -(i)
x3 + ax2 + bx +6 when divided by (x-3) leaves remainder 3.
p(3) = 3
p(3) = 33 + a.32 + b.3 +6= 27+9a +3b +6 =33+9a+3b = 3
11+3a +b =1 => 3a+b =-10 => b= -10-3a -(ii)
Equating the value of b from (ii) and (i) , we have
(- 7 -2a) = (-10 - 3a)
a = -3
Substituting a = -3 in (i), we get
b = - 7 -2(-3) = -7 + 6 = -1
Thus the values of a and b are -3 and -1 respectively.
Step-by-step explanation:
49=16+x^2
x^2= 33
x= square root of 33
Step-by-step explanation:
this creates 2 similar triangles.
that means all angles are the same. and all the side lengths of one triangle correlate to the corresponding side lengths of the other triangle by the same multiplication factor.
her shadow is 23.05 - 18.9 = 4.15 m long.
the factor between the shadow lengths is then
4.15 × f = 23.05
f = 23.05 / 4.15 = 5.554216867...
the same factor now applies to the relation of the heights :
1.45 × 5.554216867... = 8.053614458... m
rounded the tree is 8.05 m tall.
