Answer:
30 trees
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the policy:
8 trees are cut down 48 trees will be planted
If homeowner is going to cut down five trees on his property how many trees will be planted
Since :
8 trees cut down = 48 planted
5 trees cut down = X
Cross multiply :
8 * X = 48 * 5
8X = 240
X = 240/8
X = 30
Hence, 30 trees will need to be planted
The answer is 9 3/7 the last one
Answer:
Each students provides 13 pounds of meal
Step-by-step explanation:
Total students in Ms. Lee class = 220
Total pounds of food collected = 2,860
how many meals did each student provide?
Meals provided by each student = Total pounds of food collected / total number of students
= 2,860 / 220
= 13 pounds
Each students provides 13 pounds of meal
Note: 1.2 pounds of food equals one meal
1.2 pounds : 1 meal = 13 pounds : x meals
1.2/1 = 13/x
1.2 * x = 1 * 13
1.2x = 13
x = 13 / 1.2
= 10.83 meals
Approximately 11 meals to the nearest number
Note:1 kilogram is 2.2 pounds
1 kg : 2.2 pounds = x kg : 13 pounds
1/2.2 = x / 13
1 * 13 = 2.2 * x
13 = 2.2x
x = 13/2.2
= 5.91 kilogram
Approximately x = 6 kilograms
To divide rational numbers, you turn the division problem into a multiplication problem by flipping the second rational number. Then you go ahead and multiply the tops and bottoms together to get your answer. If you can simplify your problem before multiplication, you can go ahead and do so to make your problem easier.
