Put this into ratio form:
20 baskets/ 4 minutes.
This means for every 4 minutes, you can make 20 baskets.
Now solve for 1 minute...how many baskets can you make in one minute.
You can solve this in many ways:
1. Cross Multiply:
20/4 = x/1...20×1= 20 ÷ 4= 5 baskets per minute
2. Simplify- (simpler way to solve)
20 baskets ÷ 4 minutes= 5 baskets in 1 minute
3. Critical Thinking:
how many times can 4 go into 20? 5 times. So there are:
5 baskets per minute
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you have written g(x) correctly then g(-5) = 3.40 - 8 = -4.6
If you meant to write g(x) = 3.40x - 8, then g(-5) = -25

Answer:
- 24 oz Asian Treasure
- 36 oz Paradise
Step-by-step explanation:
The proportion of Asian Treasure is the difference in price of the mix and Paradise tea, divided by the difference in price of Asian Treasure and Paradise tea. So the amount of Asian Treasure is ...
(6.00 -5.00)/(7.50 -5.00)(60 ounces) = 24 ounces . . . Asian Treasure tea
The remaining 60-24 = 36 ounces will be Paradise tea.

<em>Using an equation</em>
You can get the same result if you define a variable (a) to the amount in ounces of the higher-priced contributor. Then the lower-priced contributor will be in the amount (60-a) ounces. The total cost of the mix is ...
7.50a +5.00(60 -a) = 60(6.00)
(7.50 -5.00)a +60(5.00) = 60(6.00) . . . rearrange the left side
(7.50 -5.00)a = 60(6.00 - 5.00) . . . . . . subtract 60(5.00)
a = 60(6.00 -5.00)/(7.50 -5.00) . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of 'a'
Note that this last expression is identical to the one we used above to find the quantity of Asian Treasure tea.
