Answer: 17.75 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
After putting soil in the first flower bed, Layla's bag was ⅝ full. The pound of soil will be: = 5/8 × 10 = 6.25 pounds 
Eliana's bag was ⅖ full. The pound of soil will be: = 2/5 × 10 = 4 pounds
Nature's bag was ¾ full. The pound of soil will be: = 3/4 × 10 = 30/4 = 7.5 pounds
The number of pounds of soil that they put in the first flower bed altogether will be:
= 6.25 + 4 + 7.5
= 17.75 pounds 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
The angle must be at 3.81°
Step-by-step explanation:
The horizontal distance of the shooting range is 60 yards
The height of the target is 12ft.
We'll have to convert the value of the height from ft to yards.
1 yards = 3 foot
X yards = 12ft
X = 4yards.
The height of the target is 4 yards.
Now, to find the angle at which the shooter makes with the zenith of the target(height), we'll have to use use SOHCAHTOA
To know which of the rules we'll follow, a pictorial illustration of the values will help
(See attached document for better illustration).
From the diagram, we can see we have values at both opposite and adjacent. 
Opposite = 4
Adjacent = 60
Hence we can use Tanθ = opposite/ adjacent 
Tanθ = 4 / 60
Tanθ = 0.067
θ = Tan⁻0.067
θ = 3.81°
The angle at which the rifle must be set to hit the target is 3.81°
 
        
             
        
        
        
This is your perfect answer.
Simplifying
12x = 15y
Solving
12x = 15y
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Divide each side by '12'.
x = 1.25y
Simplifying
x = 1.25y
