Pumpkins at a local farm sell for $.49 per pound. Jim Ring spent $73.50. How many pounds of pumpkins were purchased?

2 answers:

6 0

Number of pounds purchased multiplied by price per pound equals the total $ spent.

x= # pumpkin pounds purchased
0.49x=$73.50
Divide both sides by 0.49
x=150 pumpkin pounds purchased

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

The correct price is 10.01

Step-by-step explanation:

Terry has completed 15 homework problems, and Susan has completed 9. Terry is completing 10 problems per hour, and Susan is comp

Rainbow [258]

Let the number of hour it took them to have completed the same number of problems be x, then
15 + 10x = 9 + 12x
12x - 10x = 15 - 9
2x = 6
x = 6/2 = 3

After 3 hours, they must have completed the same number of homeworks.

A right square pyramid with base edges of length $8\sqrt{2}$ units each and slant edges of length 10 units each is cut by a plan

seropon [69]

Answer:

32 $unit^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The slant length 10 units
A right square pyramid with base edges of length 8 $\sqrt{2}$

Now we use Pythagoras to get the slant height in the middle of each triangle:

$\sqrt{10^{2 - (4\sqrt{2} ^{2} }) }$ = $\sqrt{100 - 32}$ = $\sqrt{68}$ units

One again, you can use Pythagoras again to get the perpendicular height of the entire pyramid.

$\sqrt{68-(4\sqrt{2} ^{2} )}$ = $\sqrt{68 - 32}$ = 6 units.

Because slant edges of length 10 units each is cut by a plane that is parallel to its base and 3 units above its base. So we have the other dementions of the small right square pyramid:

The height 3 units
A right square pyramid with base edges of length 4 $\sqrt{2}$

So the volume of it is:

V = 1/3 *3* 4 $\sqrt{2}$

= 32 $unit^{3}$

Arun has apples and oranges in the ratio 5:3. Convert the ratio of apples and oranges to the total fruits in fraction form and p

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Apples: 5/8 or 62.5%

Oranges: 3/8 or 37.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

You would figure this out because Aran has 5 apples and 3 oranges and if you’re trying to find the percentage to total number of fruits you have, it would be 5 apples/ 8 fruits and 3 oranges/ 8 fruits.

Hope this helped :)
