Answer:8

Step-by-step explanation:

Truck:car

6:2 or simplified to 3:1, which means 3 trucks for every 1 car.

24 trucks divided by 3 gives you 8.

Answer:

8 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion to model this situation. First, write and simplify the given proportion.

trucks to cars;

6 : 2

Simplify,

3 : 1

Assuming that the rate at which trucks and cars are present in the parking lot is constant, one can make the expression,

trucks : cars

3 : 1 = 24 : x

Where (x) represents the unknown amount of cars. One can use cross products to solve this proportion,

3 : 1 = 24 : x

24 = 3x

Inverse operations,

24 = 3x

8 = x

A cosmetic company makes three bottles of scented lotion using the recipe shown. Each bottle holds a different amount of lotion.

seropon [69]

Answer:

Part 1) Bottle 1 (vanilla=1,almond=3,pineapple=4)

Part 2) Bottle 2 (vanilla=2,almond=6,pineapple=8)

Part 3) Bottle 3 (vanilla=1 1/2,almond=4 1/2,pineapple=6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the amount of vanilla sent

y ----> amount of almond sent

z ----> the amount of pineapple sent

we know that

$x:y:z=\frac{1}{8}:\frac{3}{8}:\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{8}:\frac{3}{8}$

$\frac{x}{y}=\frac{1}{3}$

$x=\frac{y}{3}$ -----> equation A

$\frac{x}{z}=\frac{1}{8}:\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{x}{z}=\frac{1}{4}$

$x=\frac{1}{4}z$ -----> equation B

$\frac{y}{z}=\frac{3}{8}:\frac{1}{2}$

$\frac{y}{z}=\frac{3}{4}$

$y=\frac{3}{4}z$ -----> equation C

Part 1) Bottle 1

vanilla=?

almond=?

pineapple=4

we have

$z=4$

Find the value of x

substitute the value of z in equation B

$x=\frac{1}{4}(4)$

$x=1$

Find the value of y

substitute the value of z in equation C

$y=\frac{3}{4}(4)$

$y=3$

therefore

Bottle 1

vanilla=1

almond=3

pineapple=4

Part 2) Bottle 2

vanilla=?

almond=6

pineapple=?

we have

$y=6$

Find the value of x

substitute the value of y in equation A

$x=\frac{6}{3}=2$

Find the value of z

substitute the value of x in equation B

$2=\frac{1}{4}z$

solve for z

$z=8$

therefore

Bottle 2

vanilla=2

almond=6

pineapple=8

Part 3) Bottle 3

vanilla=1 1/2

almond=?

pineapple=?

we have

$x=1\frac{1}{2}$

convert to an improper fraction

$x=1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1*2+1}{2}=\frac{3}{2}$

Find the value of y

substitute the value of x in equation A

$\frac{3}{2}=\frac{y}{3}$

$y=\frac{9}{2}$

convert to mixed number

$y=\frac{9}{2}=\frac{8}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=4\frac{1}{2}$

Find the value of z

substitute the value of x in equation B

$\frac{3}{2}=\frac{1}{4}z$

$z=6$

therefore

Bottle 3

vanilla=1 1/2

almond=4 1/2

pineapple=6

Rewrite in simplest terms: -2(5d-9f)+7f-10(-9f-7d)

Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

= 5 ( 12d + 23f )

Step-by-step explanation:

-2(5d-9f)+7f-10(-9f-7d

Open parenthesis

= -10d + 18f + 7f + 90f + 70d

Collect like terms

= -10d + 70d + 18f + 7f + 90f

= 60d + 115f

Factorise

= 5 ( 12d + 23f )

Therefore,

-2(5d-9f)+7f-10(-9f-7d) in its simplest form is 5 ( 12d + 23f )

SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer: by combining 1/4 and 1/3 and then you find the amount of left over dog food. Multiply the fractions so they have common denominators, then add. You will get 3/12 + 4/12 = 7/12. 12 - 7 = 5, so there is 5/12 of the bag left.
