You have to divide 28 by two, then times the answer (14) by five, making it 70
Answer:
x(6 + 15y)
Step-by-step explanation:
In this instance, you can divide by a factor of x.
6x/x = 6
15xy/x = 15y
Therefore, we are left with 6 + 15y.
Answer:
68% are quarters
Step-by-step explanation:
Percent means out of 100
34/50
Multiply by 2/2
34/50 *2/2
68/100
This means 68 percent
Answer: 200 meters per minute
Explanation: we know that she can run 100 meters per 30 seconds. the question is asking in terms of minutes, however. we have to convert the seconds into minutes. How many minutes is 30 seconds? well, 60 seconds are in a minute so 30 seconds are in half a minute. 30 seconds = .5 minutes.
Now, we have to find how many meters she runs per minute. this means how many meters she runs in one minute. we create a proportion:
100 meters/ .5 minutes = x meters / 1 minute
we cross multiply to get 100 = .5x
then, we simplify by dividing each side by .5 which equals
200=x
The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables:
x: the total mass of the chemical in the container
y: a sample of a chemical from a container
We have the following equation:
y = (3/10) x - 5 3/4
Then, for y = 39.1 we have:
39.1 = (3/10) x - 5 3/4
Clearing x:
(3/10) x = 39.1 + 5 3/4
(3/10) x = 44.85
x = (10/3) * (44.85)
x = 149.5 grams
Answer:
the total mass in grams of the chemical in the container before the scientist removed the sample of 39.1 grams was:
x = 149.5 grams.
