Answer:
Let's solve for x.
4x−2y=20
Step 1: Add 2y to both sides.
4x−2y+2y=20+2y
4x=2y+20
Step 2: Divide both sides by 4.
4x/4
= 2y+20/4
x= 1/2y+5
Answer: x= 1/2y+5
To find the answer we need multiply the number of containers by number tons of sugar each container has.
(4 1/3 )*(2 1/7).
To calculate , we need to convert mixed numbers into improper fractions.
4 1/3 = (4*3 +1)/3 = 13/3
2 1/7 = (2*7+1)/7 =15/7
(4 1/3 )*(2 1/7) = (13/3) * (15/7) = (13*5)/7 = 65/7 = 9 2/7 (tons)
Answer: 9 2/7 tons.
The ratio 1:50 means that an ant can carry an object heavy 50 times its mass.
So, if the mass of the ant is 0.4 grams, it can carry at most 50 times that mass, i.e. 50x0.4 = 20 grams
In order to answer the second question, you need to consider your mass and multiply it by 50: if you were as strong as an ant, you could lift that weight!
