<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>

Use the pencil,plot the point (3 1/2, 2 3/4)
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

The diagram of the plotting point \left(3\frac{1}{2},\:2\frac{3}{4}\right)=\left(3.5,\:2.75\right) is attached below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the points

\left(3\frac{1}{2},\:2\frac{3}{4}\right)

as

3\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}=3.5

2\frac{3}{4}=\frac{11}{4}=2.75

so the point can be visualized as:

\left(3\frac{1}{2},\:2\frac{3}{4}\right)=\left(3.5,\:2.75\right)

Now, we can check the point x = 3.5, and determine the corresponding value y = 2.75 and plot the point at the location (x, y) = (3.5, 2.75)

The diagram of the plotting point \left(3\frac{1}{2},\:2\frac{3}{4}\right)=\left(3.5,\:2.75\right) is attached below.

a television on sale for 1/4 off original price. Original price is 120 more then sale price. What is original price of tv
agasfer [191]

Answer:

Original Price = 160

Sale Price =40

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Original Price be x and Sale Price be y

y=1/4 of x   (Equation 1)

x=120+y     (Equation 2)

Put value of x from equation 2 in equation 1

y= (1/4)*(120+y)

y=120/4 + y/4

y-y/4=30

3y/4=30

y=30*4/3

y=40

Put value of y in Equation 2

x=120+40

x=160
