Answer:

9 cans of white paint

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this you can set up a ratio.

The ratio right now is 3 : 2, you have 3 cans of white paint for every 2 cans of blue paint. This question is asking how many white paint cans would be needed for 6 cans of blue paint. You can see the relationship between the number of blue paint cans and the new number of blue paint cans, maybe it's multiplying by 4 or 2 for example, and once we find that out we can do the same exact thing to the white cans.

\frac{3}{2}  = \frac{?}{6}

We can see that to get from 2 to 6 you multiply by 3, so now we do that to the other side of the fraction as well, we multiply by 3. 3 multiplied by 3 is 9, so if we were to have 6 cans of blue paint we would need 9 cans of white paint to get that perfect shade of light blue. Anne would need 9 cans of white paint if she had 6 cans of blue paint to make her shade of blue.

What are the solutions to the quadratic equation 5x2 + 60x = 0?
Reptile [31]

Answer:

It's A.

Step-by-step explanation:

5x2 + 60x = 0

5x is the GCF so:

5x(x + 12 ) = 0

5x = 0, x + 12 = 0

x =0, x = -12.
