Answer:

4 /25

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Cup of vinegar used per recipe = 1/5 cup

Amount of vinegar to be used for 4/5 of a recipe ;

1 cup recipe = 1/5 cup vinegar

4/5 cup recipe = x

Cross multiply :

x = 1/5 * 4/5

x = 4/25 cup

Hence, Sandeep will use 4/25 cup of vinegar

If 30 buses can carry 1,500 people, how many people can 5 buses carry? A 200 © 500 B 250 D 750

maksim [4K]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 250 \ people}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion using the following setup.

$\frac {buses}{people}=\frac {buses}{people}$

We know 30 buses can carry 1,500 people.

$\frac {30 \ buses}{1500 \ people}=\frac {buses}{people}$

We don't know how many people 5 buses can carry, so we say 5 buses carry x people.

$\frac {30 \ buses}{1500 \ people}=\frac {5 \ buses}{x \ people}$

$\frac {30 }{1500 }=\frac {5 }{x }$

Cross multiply. Multiply the numerator of the first fraction by the second fraction's denominator. Then, multiply the first denominator by the second numerator.

$30*x=1500*5\\30x=7500$

Solve for x. It is being multiplied by 30. The inverse of multiplication is division. Divide both sides by 30.

$30x/30=7500\\x=250$

5 buses can carry 250 people.

2) Find the probability of rolling a 2 or smaller.

Mamont248 [21]

There are 6 numbers in one die.

There are 2 numbers that are less than or equal to 2, they are 1 and 2

The probability of something happening is the number of chances / total number

The probability would be 2/6, which can be reduced to 1/3

Answer this please I need a real answer

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

x² + 2x + 1 = 2x² - 2 ( subtract x² + 2x + 1 from both sides

0 = x² - 2x - 3 ← in standard form

0 = (x - 3)(x + 1) ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

-----------------------------------

(b)

$\frac{x+2}{3}$ - $\frac{2}{15}$ = $\frac{x-2}{5}$ ( multiply through by 15 to clear the fractions )

5(x + 2) - 2 = 3(x - 2) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

5x + 10 - 2 = 3x - 6

5x + 8 = 3x - 6 ( subtract 3x from both sides )

2x + 8 = - 6 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

2x = - 14 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - 7

--------------------------------------------

log $x^{n}$ ⇔ nlogx

log x = log y ⇒ x = y

Given

log(2x + 3) = 2logx

log(2x + 3) = log x² , so

x² = 2x + 3 ( subtract 2x + 3 from both sides )

x² - 2x - 3 = 0

(x - 3)(x + 1) = 0

x = 3 , x = - 1

x > 0 then x = 3

1. 232 is 8 times the sum of Mark's and his sister's ages. His sister is 21. Find Mark's age.

AURORKA [14]

Answer:

a. 8 years

b. $49.20

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The mark age is

Given that

232 is 8 times of the sum of mark and his sister ages

And, his sister is 21

So,

Let us assume the mark age be x

now

8(x + 21) = 232

x + 21 = 29

x = 29 -21

x = 8

b. The original price of the socks is

As each pair get $3 off

And she bought 6 pairs for $31.20

= $31.20 + 6 × $3

= $31.20 + 18

= $49.20
