3:4 = 7
3/198 = 7/x
solve for x using cross multiplying
3/198 = 7/x
198(7) = 3x
1386 = 3x
/3 /3
462 = x
Therefore, there are 462 workers.
Proof:
3/198 = 4/x
198(4) = 3x
792 = 3x
/3 /3
264 = x
264 + 198 = 462.
264 / 4 = 66
198 / 3 = 66
462 / 7 = 66
Answer:
The one that sells 10 tacos for $8.49
To get the better deal, you should find the selling prices for a single tacos in both cases and compare the amounts.
In the first one, 10 tacos for $8.49
This means 1 tacos sells for $8.49/10 = $0.849
In the second one, 6 for $5.40, this means for a single tacos, the selling price is $5.40/6 =$0.9
The better deal is the first one that sells one taco for $0.849 compared to the second one that sells one tacos for $0.9
Answer:
160
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the ratios together to get the sum of them is 19. Since the perimeter is 380, divide 380 by 19 to get 20.
The shortest side is 3(20) = 60,
the next side is 5(20) = 100, and
the longest side is 8(20) = 160
Answer:
x = -5/2 + i√19 and x = -5/2 - i√19
Step-by-step explanation:
Next time, please share the possible answer choices.
Here we can actually find the roots, using the quadratic formula or some other approach.
a = 1, b = 5 and c = 11. Then the discriminant is b^2-4ac, or 5^2-4(1)(11). Since the discriminant is negative, the roots are complex. The discriminant value is 25-44, or -19.
Thus, the roots of the given poly are:
-5 plus or minus i√19
x = -----------------------------------
2(1)
or x = -5/2 + i√19 and x = -5/2 - i√19
