Answer:

No they will no have the same strength. So what I did was find a common number between them so between 8 and 6 they both can be multiplied to 24. So 6 goes into 24 4 times so I multiplied 3 times 6 and then 8 goes into 24 3 times so I multiplied 3 and 5 and so the final answer is that bart has more strong fertilizer

Step-by-step explanation:

6*4=24 4*3=12

8*3=24 5*3=15

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

V = 1/3 B * h

Givens

B = 15 mm^2

h = 4 mm

Solution

V = 1/3 * 15 * 4

V = 20 mm^3

The sum of the digits of a 2-digit number is 10. If 18 is added to the number, the digits of the new number are those of the ori

Aliun [14]

Answer:

46

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $(ab)$ represent a number with $a$ in the ten's position and $b$ is the one's position.

This means $(ab)$ actually has value of $10a+b$ .

We are given the sum of those digits of $(ab)$ is 10; this means $a+b=10$ .

It says if 18 is added to the number $(ab)$ , then the result is $(ba)$ .

So $(ab)$ has value $10a+b$ and

$(ba)$ has value $10b+a$ .

We are given then:

$(ab)+18=(ba)$

$10a+b+18=10b+a$

Subtract $10a$ on both sides:

$b+18=10b+a-10a$

Simplify:

$b+18=10b-9a$

Subtract $b$ on both sides:

$18=10b-b-9a$

$18=9b-9a$

Divide both sides by 9:

$2=b-a$

Rearrange by commutative property:

$2=-a+b$

So the system of equations we want to solve is:

$a+b=10$

$-a+b=2$

-------------------------Add equations together (this will eliminate the variable $a$ and allow you to go ahead and solve for $b$ :

$0+2b=12$

$2b=12$

Divide both sides by 2:

$b=\frac{12}{2}$

Simplify:

$b=6$

If $b=6$ and $a+b=10$ , then $a=4$ . $a=4$ since 4+6=10.

So the original number is (46).

18 more than 46 is 18+46=(64) which is what we wanted.

We also have the sum of 4 and 6 is 10 as well.
