Answer:
write the question properly and <u>completely</u> then only you will get correct answer
4/3 = 1/x.....4 lbs potatoes to $3 = 1 lb of potatoes to $x
cross multiply
(4)(x) = (3)(1)
4x = 3
x = 3/4
x = 0.75....so 1 lb of potatoes cost 75 cents
(8,6)...this means 8 lbs of potatoes cost $6
Answer:
339.5
Step-by-step explanation:
-67.9x+679= y
-67.9*5+679=
-339.5+679= 339.5
Answer:
22.5 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given system of equations</u>
5(s-w)=900
4(s+w)=900
<u />
<u>Set equations equal to each other</u>
5(s-w)=4(s+w)
5s-5w=4s+4w
s-5w=4w
s=9w
<u>Solve for w using the substitution s=9w</u>
4(s+w)=900
4(9w+w)=900
4(10w)=900
40w=900
w=22.5
Therefore, the speed of the wind is 22.5 miles per hour
Answer:
40 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of the original rectangle be L and original Breadth be B
it is given that the original area is 5/8 ft²
i.e.
Original Length x Original Breadth = Original Area, or,
LB = 5/8 ft² ------------------(1)
Given that the dilation factor is 8,
Hence,
New Length = 8L and New Breadth = 8B
THerefore,
New Area = 8L x 8B
= 64 LB (from (1) above , we know that LB = 5/8 ft², substitute into expression)
= 64 (5/8)
= 40 ft²
