Answer:

<em>Arielle has 374 grasshoppers and 187 crickets</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set:

x = number of grasshoppers

y = number of crickets

Arielle has a collection of 561 insects, thus:

x + y = 561            [1]

The number of grasshoppers is twice the number of crickets, thus:

x = 2y                   [2]

Substituting [2] in [1]:

2y + y = 561

Simplifying:

3y = 561

Dividing by 3:

y = 561/3

y = 187

From [2]:

x = 2*187 = 374

x = 374

Arielle has 374 grasshoppers and 187 crickets

What is 3/5s of 75 ???????????????????????????
Iteru [2.4K]
The answer is:  45 .
________________________________

3/5 * 75 = 3/5 * 75/1 ;

The "5" cancels to a "1"; and the "75" cancels to a "15" ; 
  since "75÷5 = 15" ; and since "5÷5 =1" .

So, rewrite the problem:

3/1 = 15/1 = 45/1 = 45.
___________________________
Other method:
___________________________
3/5 * 75  = 6/10 * 75 = 0.6 * 75 = 45.0 = 45 .

Will Give BRAINLIEST for CORRECT answer! Please Help! A can of vegetables holds 454 mL of food and is 4.5 in. tall. What is the
Katena32 [7]

Answer: the diameter of the can is 2.8 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the volume of a cylinder is expressed as

Volume = πr²h

Where

r represents the radius of the cylinder.

h represents the height of the cylinder.

π is a constant whose value is 3.14

From the information given,

height = 4.5 inches

Volume of can = 454 millilitres

1 cubic inch = 16.387 millilitres

Converting 454 millilitres to cubic inches, it becomes

454/16.387 = 27.7 cubic inches

Therefore

27.7 = 3.14 × r² × 4.5

27.7 = 14.13r²

r² = 27.7/14.13

r² = 1.96

r = √1.96

r = 1.4

Diameter = 2 × radius

Diameter = 2 × 1.4 = 2.8 inches
