a cake using eggs and potatoes in the ratio of 2 to 5 if he uses sex as how many potatoes will he need

1 answer:

4 0

When eggs = 2, then potatoes = 5

Eggs: 2
Potatoes: 5

When that is changed to 6 eggs, 2 needs to be multiplied by a number to get 6.

2 * what = 6 or 6/2=

you get the number 3. A fraction is equivalent to a ratio. So if you have 2*3=6 then you need to multiply 5*3 to get the amount of potatoes you need. the answer is 15 potatoes because 5*3=15.

A diver begins at sea level and dives down 200 feet. He ascends at a steady rate of 12 1/3 feet per minute for 4.5 minutes. Whic

Fittoniya [83]

Suppose the depth of the diver is d at time time t, rate is given by r=12 1/3 ft/ min. The equation representing the depth of the diver at time t will be:
f(t)=200-(12 1/3)t
Therefore the depth of the diver after t=4.5 min will be:
f(4.5)=200-(12 1/3)*4.5
f(4.5)=200-55.5
f(4.5)=144.5 ft
This means that after 4.5 minutes the diver will be 144.5 ft deep.

If the lines are parallel with angle a measuring 5x + 8 and angle b measuring 8x - 7, the measure of angle a would be ___ degree

Mandarinka [93]

The value of angle a will be 33°.

It should be noted that when we've parallel lines, then the angles will be equal. In this case, the value of angle a will be equal to that of angle b and this will be:

5x + 8 = 8x - 7.

Collect like terms .

8x - 5x = 8 + 7

3x = 15

Divide both side by 3

3x/3 = 15/3

x = 5

Therefore, the value of angle a will be:

= 5x + 8

= 5(5) + 8

= 25° + 8°

= 33°
