Answer:

15 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

(You can write ratios with x because you are multiplying all parts of the ratio by the same amount in order for it to be the same ratio)

The ratio of pencils to pen is 3x:5x

If there are 10 more pens than pencils, and the ratio is 3x:5x, we see that the difference between 3x and 5x is 2x

So now we know that 2x = 10

so x = 5

Since x = 5, we plug in the number to 3x:5x which would be 3(5):5(5) which would be 15:25

So there are 15 pencils.

I hope this helped, let me know if you have any questions

In 2/3 of a hour, workers had installed 2/5 of a foor. At the rate,what fraction of the flooring is finished after 1 hour?
padilas [110]
3/5 or 60%.

2/3 hour is 40 minutes, so 1/3 is 20 minutes.

40 minutes have passed and 2/5 of the progress on the floor is complete. In 20 minutes, 1/5 of the work is complete. Add 20 minutes to 40 minutes to get 60 minutes, or an hour.
Because of this, we need to add the progress of 20 minutes and 40 minutes. 1/5+2/5=3/5.

The patriot diner sells 2 cheeseburgers and one soda for $11.00 and 3 hamburgersand 2 sodas for $18.00. What is the cost of a ch
kvasek [131]

Answer: the cost of a cheeseburger is $4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one cheeseburgers.

Let y represent the cost of one Soda.

The patriot diner sells 2 cheeseburgers and one soda for $11.00. It means that

2x + y = 11 - - - - - - - - - - - 1

She also sells 3 cheeseburgers and 2 sodas for $18.00. It means that

3x + 2y = 18 - - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 3 and equation 2 by 2, it becomes

6x + 3y = 33

6x + 4y = 36

Subtracting, it becomes.

- y = - 3

y = 3

Substituting y = 3 into equation 1, it becomes

2x + 3 = 11

2x = 11 - 3 = 8

x = 8/2 = 4
