17.75 pounds of flour
( excluding the .75)
17 x 19.68 = $334.56
.75 = 3/4
19.68 / 4 = $4.92
($4.92 for every quarter of a pound)
4.92 x 3 = $14.76 ( .75 = 3/4)
334.56 + 14.76 = $349.32
CHECK
17.75 x 4 = 71 ( Figure out how many fourths make 17.75)
71 x 4.92 = $349.32

She paid the shopkeeper $349.32

The heights of a maple tree and a cherry tree have a ratio of 5:2. If the maple tree grew 20 cm and 20 cm was cut off the top of

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Let x be the <span>heights of a maple tree and y be the height of the cherry tree.
We know:
</span> $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{5}{2}$
<span>The new ratio is obtained like this:
</span> $\frac{x+20}{y-20} = \frac{3}{1}$ .
From the above equation we get $x= (y-20)\frac{3}{1} -20$ .
then $\frac{ (y-20)\frac{3}{1} -20}{y} = \frac{5}{2}$
Solving the above equation for y we get: $y=160$
So $x=400$
So the first tree is (400-160=240) more taller than cherry tree.
