A 31-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first piece, and the third

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The length of the first piece is 4 inches, that of the second is 8 inches and the third 19 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of the steel = 31 inches

Let the length of the first piece = x

let the length of the second piece = y

Let the length of the third piece = z

So,

y = 2x

z = 4x + 3

x + 2x + 4x +3 = total length of the steel = 31

7x + 3 + 31

7x = 31 - 3

7x = 28

x= 4 inches

Thus; y = 2x = 2 × 4 = 8 inches

z = 4x +3 = 4×4 +3 =19 inches

∴The length of the first piece is 4 inches, that of the second is 8 inches and the third 19 inches.

Dario bakes a lasagna containing 2/3 pound of parmesan cheese, 5/4 pounds of ricotta cheese, and 4/3 pounds of mozzarella cheese

kap26 [50]

First, we have to figure out how much cheese we have total. Do this by adding up all of the various cheeses.

$\frac{2}{3} + \frac{4}{3} + \frac{5}{4} \\ \frac{6}{3} + 1 + \frac{1}{4} \\ 3 \frac{1}{4}$
Now to split the cheeses into sections of 1/4 pound each, we have to divide by 1/4, which is the same as multipling by 4

$3 \frac{1}{4} \times 4 = 12 + 1 = 13$

13 slices total

John sells hamburgers ($3) and cheeseburgers ($3.50). One afternoon he sells a total of 24 burger for $79. How many of these wer

ankoles [38]

John sold 10 hamburgers and 14 cheeseburgers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Cost of one hamburger = $3

Cost of one cheeseburger = $3.50

Total burgers sold = 24

Total revenue earned = $79

Let,

Number of hamburgers sold = x

Number of cheeseburgers sold = y

According to given statement;

x+y=24 Eqn 1

3x+3.50y=79 Eqn 2

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 3

$3(x+y=24)\\3x+3y=72\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2

$(3x+3.50y)-(3x+3y)=79-72\\3x+3.50y-3x-3y=7\\0.50y=7$

Dividing both sides by 0.50

$\frac{0.50y}{0.50}=\frac{7}{0.50}\\y=14$

Putting y=14 in Eqn 1

$x+14=24\\x=24-14\\x=10$

John sold 10 hamburgers and 14 cheeseburgers.
