To do this you want to divide 110 by 5 to get 22. Now you want to multiply 3 by 22. That means the caterer need 66 pounds of tomatoes.
-2x + 5 = -1
subtract 5 from both sides: -2x = -6
divide each side by -2: x = 3
plug in 3: 5(3)
multiply: 15
the value of 5x is 15.
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the <u>reciprocal </u>of the second fraction. (Seven over one)

Now, we convert the fraction into a mixed fraction.

<em>The quotient of 5/6 and 1/7 is 5 5/6</em>
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose the length of the triangle is x, if the perimeter of the rectangle is 100 ft, the width of the rectangle will be (50-x) ft.
Area of rectangle will be:
A=length*width
A=x(50-x)
A=50x-x^2
at maximum area, dA/dx=0
thus
dA/dx=50-2x=0
solving for x we get
2x=50
x=25
thus for maximum area length=25 ft
the size of the width will be
50-x=50-25=25 ft
thus the maximum area will be:
25*25=625 sq. feet
