Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Set this up as a ratio of number of cakes to cups of sugar, C:S
Then the ratio given is 1:2.5 which says 1 cake takes 2.5 cups of sugar. We want to know how many cakes, x, will be made with 37.75 ups of flour:
and cross multiply to solve:
2.5x = 37.75 so
x = 15.1 cakes or just 15 cakes (cuz you can't make one-tenth of a cake!)
I helped you on the other one. You can never use data to say for certain so that rules out the first and third options. Because sample B's IQR is further to the right, that one is likely to grow taller...
Therefore the answer is Corn grown with PG86 will likely grow taller than corn grown without PF86.
Hi there!
To solve this problem using substitution, we need to set x equal to a value and substitute it into the other equation.
Since
x - 4y = 5,
x = 5 + 4y
3x - 7y = 10
3(5 + 4y) - 7y = 10
15 + 12y - 7y = 10
15 + 5y = 10
5y = -5
y = -1
Now that we know y is -1, we can substitute it back into the equation to find x:
y = -1
x - 4y = 5
x - 4(-1) = 5
x - (-4) = 5
x + 4 = 5
x = 1
So, your answers are x = 1 and y = -1.
Hope this helps!
