Answer:

8 kiwi

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a typical proportional problem for Algebra.

You can do this problem several ways, some shorter than others, however, I want you to understand. So, with that said,

You place the following equation together:

Number of Kiwi/Dollars = Number of Kiwi/Dollars

You are given three of the values:

32 Kiwi/16 = x/4   Please notice: You know Jasmine bought 32 Kiwi for $16.00 and know she has $4.00. You do not know how many kiwi she can purchase. Do you see this?

Now, since this is an equation (an equal sign between two fractions) you can cross-multiply. When you do so you multiply the numerator on the left with the denominator on the right. Then cross-multiply the denominator from the left with the numerator on the right.

You are left with the following due to cross multiplication:

16 x = 4 (32) or 128

16x = 128  Solve for x by dividing 16 into 128 and you arrive at 8

WHY I do this problem in this manner is because you can ALWAYS check your work. In other words, plug 8 (the value for x) into the original equation. When you do so watch what happens:

Original equation: 32/16 = x/4

Then:

32/16 = x/4  or 32/16 = 8/4

Cross multiply: Does 32 times 4 equal 16 times 8?  Yes, it indeed does.

Sloan [31]

The side is 8 feet = 8*12 inches = 96 inches

Plants are needed if they are to be spaced 8 inches apart around the outside of the bed

96/8 = 12 ... so we need 12 plants on each side, please note it is including the corners.

If we not incluse corner, the flowers will be 10 each side.

Means total flower : 10 * 4 (each side) + 4(corner)

The total needed is 44 plants. : Answer

It takes 40 units of maple sap to produce 1 ounce of maple syrup. Jane and her family are bottling maple syrup in 20 -ounce bott
Setler [38]

Answer:

10,800

-1200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

40 units of maple sap = 1 ounce of maple syrup

Using a 20 - ounce bottle, 2 ounces of air is left

Ounces of actual syrup = (20 - 2) = 18 ounces

Number of maple sap required to fill 15 bottles :

Number of maple saps required to fill 18 ounces bottle :

40 units = 1 ounce

x = 18 ounces

Hence, for 18 ounces of maple syrup :

(40 * 18).= 720 units of maple sap

For 15 bottles of 18 ounces maple syrup:

(720 * 15) = 10,800 units of maple sap

If they had filled each bottle to the top:

(40 * 20 * 15) = 12000 units of maple sap

10,800 - 12000 = - 1200 units of maple sap
