Answer:

The price of rice per gram is 0.006$

Step-by-step explanation:

I. David wants to make 10 servings,

each require 75 g of rice and 5 spice. When ratio is 15:1

If rice : spice = 75 : x

15x = 75

x = 5

=> 5 * 15 : 1 * 5

= 75 : 5

So rice : spice is  75 : 5

II. When 1 serving require 75 : 5

So 10 servings is 10 * 75 : 5 * 10

= 750 : 50

So he must has 750 grams rice and 50 grams spice.

III. He must buy spice and rice which..

a) He has 40 grams spice, he'll buy for 10 grams spice.

b) He has no rice, he'll buy for 750 grams rice.

But the question only ask for price of rice which he spend 4.5$

=  \frac{4.5}{750}

= 0.006$

In 1 gram of rice he spend 0.006$

If 750 grams of rice, he'll spend 750 * 0.006$ = 4.5$ => true

That makes 0.006$ is the right answer.

Hope that help :)

( please explain it to me!) 7. Wei's mark on a test was 39. This
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

65

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 39 is equal to 60%, and 60% is also equal to 60/100, then 39/x (x is the total we are solving for) is equal to 60/100.

Cross multiply so 39/x = 60/100

39*100 = 60x

3900 = 60x (divide both sides by 60)

65 = x

What is the perimeter of the quadrilateral ABCD?
Lerok [7]

Given:

The figure of a quadrilateral ABCD.

To find:

The perimeter of the quadrilateral ABCD.

Solution:

In an isosceles triangle, the two sides and base angles are congruent.

In triangle ABD,

\angle DAB\cong \angle ABD               [Given]

\Delta ABD is an isosceles triangle      [Base angle property]

AD=BD                   [By definition of isosceles triangles]    

8=BD                   ...(i)

In triangle BCD,

\angle BCD\cong \angle CDB\cong \angle CBD        [Given]

All interior angles of the triangle BCD are congruent, so the triangle BCD is an equilateral triangle and all sides of the triangle area equal.

BC=CD=BD

BC=CD=8      [Using (i)]               ...(ii)

Now, the perimeter of quadrilateral ABCD is:

Perimeter=AB+BC+CD+AD

Perimeter=11+8+8+8

Perimeter=35

Therefore, the perimeter of the quadrilateral ABCD is 35 units.

For 4 weeks in June, Cameron biked 3 1/4 miles each week and swam 2 1/2 miles each week. For 3 weeks in July, he biked 4 3/4 mil
avanturin [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

For 4 weeks in June, Cameron biked 3 1/4 miles each week and swam 2 1/2 miles each week.

For 3 weeks in July, he biked 4 3/4 miles each week and swam 3 1/2 miles each week.

We need to find how much greater was the total distance Cameron bike and swim in July compared to the total distance he bike in swim in June.

In July, total distance is ,

4\dfrac{3}{4}\times 3+3\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\\\\= \dfrac{19}{4}\times 3+\dfrac{7}{2}\times 3\\\\=24.75\ \text{miles}

In June, total distance is :

=4\times 3\dfrac{1}{4}+4\times 2\dfrac{1}{2}\\\\=\dfrac{13}{4}\times 4+\dfrac{5}{2}\times 4\\\\=23\ \text{miles}

Hence, in June total distance is 23 miles and in July total distance is 24.75 miles.
