4 cups of pecans = 5 cups of walnuts
x cups of pecans = 8 cups of walnuts
CROSS MULTIPLY
4*8 =5x
5x = 32
DIVIDE BOTH SIDES BY 5
5x/5 = 32/5
x=6.4
Therefore, 6.4 cups of pecans would be added to 8 cups of walnuts
Divide the numerator with the denominator for each, and that's all really... Good luck!!
Answer: There are 15 friends.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that there is N friends (N is the number that we are looking for)
Each friend weights 1/20 ton.
Now, the weight of the N friends together is N times 1/20 ton.
Then we have:
N*(1/20) ton = 3/4 ton
We solve this for N.
First multiply both sides by 20.
20*N*(1/20) = N = 20*(3/4) = 60/4 = 15
5000 × .06 = $300 balance $5,300
5300 × .06 = $318 balance $5,618
5618 × .06 = $337.08 balance $5,955.08
5955.08 ×.06 = $357.30 balance $6,312.38
