Answer:

Ok. So, I can't see the image. Buttttt, depending on how many cubic feet she wants. If she wanted 5.5 cubic feet of soil, she would buy 10 bags of soil. Each showing 1/2 of a cubic foot. Use your fingers to help saying, " Half, One, One and a half, two, two and a half...." So on and so forth.

Answer:

11 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

12. As you noted in problem 11, the volume needed to fill the three pots is 5.05 cubic feet. The number of bags needed is ...

(5.05 ft³)/(0.5 ft³/bag) = 10.1 bags

10 bags is not quite enough. Rylee should buy 11 bags of potting soil.

_____

Additional comment

As a practical matter, the difference between what Rylee needs and what is contained in 10 bags is about 1%. It would be very difficult to tell that 0.1 cubic foot is missing if Rylee simply used the contents of 10 bags. If Rylee purchases 11 bags, most (4/5) of the last bag will remain unused.

If y varies inversely asx, and y = 33 when x = 7 what is the constant and what is value of y when x=11?

allsm [11]

Answer:

We have that y = 21 when x = 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve this question by proportions, using a rule of three.

Since they vary inversely, we apply the inverse rule of three, that is, with lateral multiplication instead of diagonal.

33 - 7

y - 11

11y = 33 -7

y - 11

Dividing both sides by 11

Y = 3 * 7 = 21

We have that y = 21 when x = 11.

Solve the equation x+3/x-4 = x-5/x+4

Serga [27]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{x=\dfrac{1}{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{x+3}{x-4}=\dfrac{x-5}{x+4}\\\\\text{Domain:}\ x-4\neq0\ \wedge\ x+4\neq0\\\\x\neq4\ \wedge\ x\neq-4\\\\D:x\in\mathbb{R}-\{-4,\ 4\}$

$\dfrac{x+3}{x-4}=\dfrac{x-5}{x+4}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\(x+3)(x+4)=(x-4)(x-5)\qquad\text{use FOIL}\ (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd\\\\(x)(x)+(x)(4)+(3)(x)+(3)(4)=(x)(x)+(x)(-5)+(-4)(x)+(-4)(-5)\\\\x^2+4x+3x+12=x^2-5x-4x+20\qquad\text{combine like terms}\\\\x^2+(4x+3x)+12=x^2+(-5x-4x)+20\\\\x^2+7x+12=x^2-9x+20\qquad\text{subtract}\ x^2\ \text{from both sides}\\\\7x+12=-9x+20\qquad\text{subtract 12 from both sides}\\\\7x=-9x+8\qquad\text{add}\ 9x\ \text{to both sides}\\\\16x=8\qquad\text{divide both sides by 16}\\\\x=\dfrac{8}{16}\\\\x=\dfrac{8:8}{16:8}\\\\x=\dfrac{1}{2}\in D$

How do i find the greatest common factor of 84 and 36

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

What is the GCF of 36 and 84?

Find the prime factorization of 36.

Find the prime factorization of 84. 84 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 7.

To find the GCF, multiply all the prime factors common to both numbers: Therefore, GCF = 2 × 2 × 3.

GCF = 12.

The common factors of 84 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14, 21, 28, 42, and 84. We can get all the factors using the prime factorization method.
