Answer:

5/12 of a pound or 0.42 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

$1 is 12 times less than $12. So, if the amount of money is divided by 12, than the amount of apples you can buy is also divided by 12:

5/12 = 0.42

You can buy 5/12 of a pound or approximately 0.42 pounds of apples for $1.

Answer:

5/12 or 0.41666667 pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up the equation as 5/12=x/1 and cross multiply. Then you will get 12x=5. Divide both sides by 12 and then you will get 5/12.

2y-18x=-26 solve for y

Alekssandra [29.7K]

2y - 18x = -26

Add 18x to both sides.

2y = -26 + 18x

Divide by 2 on both sides.

y = -13 + 9x

y = 9x - 13

The length of a rectangle picture frame is 2 centimeters more than twice it’s width. If the area of the frame is 364 square cent

sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Length:28 cm

Width: 13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> the length of a rectangle picture frame

y ---> the width of a rectangle picture frame

we know that

The area of a rectangle picture frame is equal to

$A=xy$

we have

$A=364\ cm^2$

$364=xy$ ----> equation A

The length of a rectangle picture frame is 2 centimeters more than twice it’s width

$x=2y+2$ ---> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

The solution is the point (28,13)

see the attached figure

therefore

Length:28 cm

Width: 13 cm

Suppose you take the small prism and stack it on top of the larger prism. What will be the volume of the composite figure?

Degger [83]

Find the volume of the first figure, then find the volume of the second figure, then add them together.
V=lwh
V(1)=(15)(12)(6)
= 1,080in^3
V(2)=(12)(6)(6)
= 432in^3
--------------------------------------------
1,080+432= 1,512 in^3
--------------------------------------------
Your answer should be 1,512

the area of a rectangle is 99ft^2,and the L is 7ft more than twice the width. find the dimension of the rectangle.

givi [52]

A = L * W
A = 99
L = 2W + 7

99 = W(2W + 7)
99 = 2W^2 + 7W
-2W^2 - 7W + 99 = 0
(-2W + 11)(W + 9) = 0

-2W + 11 = 0
-2W = -11
W = -11/-2
W = 5.5

W + 9 = 0
W = -9 .....not this one because it is negative

so the width (W) = 5.5ft <====
L = 2W + 7 .....2(5.5) + 7 = 18 ft is the length (L) <==
