Answer:
24 ounces.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the ratio of blue paint to yellow paint in a green paint mixture is 2:3.
Actual ounces used for blue paint = 16
By ratio and proportion property we have
2:3 = 16:x where x is the actual ounces of yellow paint used.
Simplify using ratio rules
if a:b = c:d then ad = bc
We get
2x=3(16) = 48
Divide by 2
x = 24
Hence 24 ounces of yellow paint to be used.
Using division, you will find that -1/9 continues on and on forever with no end, so you can mark this by drawing a line over the last repeating number
the answer is $173.25( I had a question for this and i got it correct hope this helps)
12.5 / 100 = 20 / X
multiply 100 x 10 to get 2000
multiply 12.5 x X to get 12.5X
divide both 2000 and 12.5X by 12.5 to get 2000 / 12.5 = X
2000 / 12.5 = 160 therefore X = 160
check your answer by multiplying 0.125 by 160 to get 20
<span>2/3 of the rocks are metamorphic
</span><span>3/4 of the remainder are igneous rocks
</span><span>3 rocks left over are sedimentary
the rocks that deSean has are
2/3+3/4+3= 4x2+3x3/3x4 + 3 = 17+36 /12 = 20
</span><span>DeSean had 20 rocks </span>
