<span>Total mass of mixture is given as 5/6 pound, in which 1/4 pound is gravel. Amount of sand in the mixture will be 5/6 - 1/4 = 7/12 So, the ratio of sand to that of gravel in given mixture is 7/12:1/4 = 7:3. i.e every 10 parts of mixture contain 7 parts of sand and 3 parts of gravel. If we are given 1-pound of same mixture, it will contain 1 * 3/10 pound gravel, i.e. 0.3 pound.</span>

Sidana [21]

Answer:

Circumference of the can is 21.98 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, top of the cylinder can shown in the figure is in the shape of a circle

Circumference of a circle is given by the formula,

Circumference 'C' = π × Diameter

Where r = radius of the circle

Therefore, circumference of a circle with diameter 7 centimeters will be,

C = 7π

   = 7 × 3.14

   = 21.98 cm

Therefore, circumference of the can is 21.98 cm.

If DF = 9x -39 find EF
Klio2033 [76]

|DF| = |DE| + |EF|

|DF| = 9x -36

|DE| = 47

|EF| = 3x+10

Substitute:

9x - 39 = 47 + 3x + 10

9x - 39 = 3x + 57     |+39

9x = 3x + 96    |-3x

6x = 96    |:6

x = 16

Put the value of x to the equation |EF| = 3x + 10

|EF| = (3)(16) + 10 = 48 + 10 = 58

Answer: |EF| = 58

A rental car agency charges a flat fee of $139.00 plus $30.00 per day to rent a certain car. Another agency charges a fee of $13
Sveta_85 [38]
139 + 30d = 13 + 51d
139 - 13 = 51d - 30d
126 = 21d
126/21 = d
6 = d

now lets check..
139 + 30d = 139 + 30(6) = 319
13 + 51d = 13 + 51(6) = 319

so on day 6, they will both cost $ 319
