Answer:
Assuming x is the number, then 
Step-by-step explanation:
If the product of a number and 5 is 8, the equation becomes:
(assuming x is the unknown number).
We can isolate the variable x by dividing both sides by 5.

So we know that there are 16 ounces in one pound, so let's multiply to find how many cents one pound of jelly beans cost:

And we know that there are 100 cents in one dollar, so let's divide this by 100:

So the jelly beans cost $1.28 per pound.
The answer is 10
40/(24-4*(2+3))
40/(24-4*5)
40/(24-20)
40/4
10
Let x represent the amount of 10% solution used.
Let y represent the amount of 25% solution used.
Since 30 liters of 15% solution are being made, our first equation is
x + y = 30
Now we deal with the actual peroxide in each solution.
x liters of 10% peroxide contain 0.1x liters of peroxide.
y liters of 25% peroxide contain 0.25y liters of peroxide.
30 liters of 15% peroxide contain 0.15 * 30 = 4.5 liters of peroxide.
From this information, we can write our second equation.
0.1x + 0.25y = 4.5
We have a system of equations:
x + y = 30
0.1x + 0.25y = 4.5
Multiply the first equation by -0.25 and add to the second equation.
-0.25x - 0.25y = -7.5
0.1x + 0.25y = 4.5
---------------------------
-0.15x = -3
x = 20
Answer: 20 liters
I'm assuming you're meaning 116.37 inches. 116.37 in = 9.6975 feet
Answer = 10 feet
