Answer:
The numbers are 11 and 49.
Step-by-step explanation:
<em>x = 5y - 6 </em> This is just the first sentence written as an equation.
<em>x + y = 60</em> This is just the second sentence written as an equation.
<em>5y - 6 + y = 60</em> Substitute x for what you know it is equal to
<em>6y - 6 = 60</em> Collect like terms
<em>6y = 66</em> Add 6 to each side
<em>y = 11</em> Divide each side by 6
<em>x = 5 × 11 - 6 </em> Substitute y for what you know it is
<em>x = 55 - 6</em> Simplify by working out 5 × 11 = 55
<em>x = 49</em> Subtract 6 from 55 to get 49
Answer:
8:16 and 7:14
Step-by-step explanation:
5:10 is a 1 to 2 ratio and so are 8:16 and 7:14
Answer:
a. 61.92 in²
b. 21.396 ≈ 21.4%
c. $4.71
Step-by-step explanation:
a. Amount of waste = area of rectangular piece of stock - area of two identical circles cut out
Area of rectangular piece of stock = 24 in × 12 in = 288 in²
Area of the two circles = 2(πr²)
Use 3.14 as π
radius = ½*12 = 6
Area of two circles = 2(3.14*6²) = 226.08 in²
Amount of waste = 288 - 226.08 = 61.92 in²
b. % of the original stock wasted = amount of waste ÷ original stock × 100
= 61.92/288 × 100 = 6,162/288 = 21.396 ≈ 21.4%
c. 288 in² of the piece of stock costs $12.00,
Each cut-out circle of 113.04 in² (226.08/2) will cost = (12*113.04)/288
= 1,356.48/288 = $4.71.
Answer:
<em>Not true. Actually, 1 2/3 equals 5/3.</em>
