Answer:
True
Step-by-step explanation:
< means 'less than'. 3.5 is less than 4.5, so A is correct. Since -4.5 is NEGATIVE it is less than 0. As for C, since both numbers are negative, it would be the seemingly 'smaller' number that is actually bigger. It may help to think of the numbers on a number line. In the negatives, the numbers start to go in reverse, so the further from 0 a negative number is, the smaller it is. -4.5 IS LESS than -3.5. All answers are correct.
Answer: It is answer C.
Step-by-step explanation: Because of the location and angle of the line, it intersects at 9 on the y axis and 1 on the x, therefore giving you 9 over 1
Let the number of gallons consumed be the first car be x, and that of the second car, y. Then:
x + y = 50 . . . . . . . (1)
20x + 15y = 850. . . (2)
(1) x 20 => 20x + 20y = 1000 . . . (3)
(2) - (3) => -5y = -150 => y = -150/-5 = 30
From (1), x + 30 = 50 => x = 50 - 30 = 20
Therefore, first car consumed 20 gallons and the second consumed 30 gallons.
Answer:
He needs 3.75 lbs of sugar and 1.25 lbs of water.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x lbs be the amount of sugar in the syrup. Then 5-x lbs is the amount of water in this syrup.
Note
5 lbs - 100%
x lbs - 75%
Write a proportion:
Cross multiply:
So, he needs 3.75 lbs of sugar and 5 - 3.75 = 1.25 lbs of water.
