Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
since;
1/3 of 12 = 4
so,
(2/3) of x = 4
x=4(3/2)= 6
The house is x
<span>make a proportion: </span>
<span>x/55=15/25 </span>
<span>cross multiply </span>
<span>25x=55*15 </span>
<span>25x=825 </span>
<span>divide </span>
<span>x=33</span>
Answer:
a) 10 pieces of 2/3 pound can be made.
b) 0.54 pounds of wax is left over.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount of clear wax available =
pounds
So, the maker has in total 4.5 pounds of wax
Now, The weight of each piece =
pounds
To find the number of pieces that can be made out of 4.5 pounds of wax,
let that number = n
So, 
or, n = 
So, nearly 6 pieces can be made completely out of the clear wax
Left over amount of wax = Total weight - Weights of the pieces made
= 4.5- 6(0.66)
= 0.54 pounds
Hence, 0.54 pounds of wax is left over
Answer:
-39+5(-41)=244
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider 3 consecutive integers: (smallest) x, x+1 and x+2 (largest)
Five times the smallest means 5x
Sum of the largest and five times the smallest means x+2+5x
This sum is -244 means x+2+5x=-244
Solve this equation
x+2+5x=-244
6x+2=-244
6x=-244-2
6x=-246
x=-41
So, smallest number is -41, second is -40 and largest is -39
= -39+5(-41)=244
Hope this helps, have a nice day/night! :D
