Because they are both even numbers
If the 5 of them weigh 1/4 of a ton
then 1 of them weigh x
5/1 = 1/4//x Do you see what happens? Just by writing down the givens you get a proportion. It will work better for you if you change the 1/4 to 0.25
5/1 = 0.25/x Now it looks like an ordinary proportion. Cross multiply
5x = 0.25*1 divide by 5
x = 0.25/5
x = 0.05 tons. We better change this to pounds.
1 ton = 2000 pounds
0.05 ton = x
1/0.05 = 2000/x Cross multiply
x = 2000 * 0.05
x = 100 pounds.
Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
10x+15
Step-by-step explanation:
area of the two rectangles combined is one big rectangle
area of rectange= base*height
base length: 2x+3
height: 5
(2x+3)*5
=(2x*5)+(3*5)
=10x+15
