Set up the ratio as fractions
(5/8) cup red / (2/5) cup yellow = r amount of red / 1 cup yellow
Then cross multiply the numbers and set up as a equation like this
(5/8) × 1 = (2/5) × r
(5/8) = (2/5)r
Multiply both sides of the equation by (5/2) to get rid of the fraction and solve for r
(5/2) × (5/8) = (2/5)r × <span>(5/2)
25/16 = r
Reduce down to 5/4 or change to a mixed number
1 and 1/4 cups = r</span>
Answer:
x=5.657 y=5.657
Step-by-step explanation:
9 58/100 in mixed number form
-(-2-5x)+(-2)=18
2+5x-2=18
5x=18
x=18/5=3.6
(-5x^5)(a) = 25x^7 + 100x^5
<u>+5x^5 +5x^5</u>
a = 25x^7
