Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

15 bags for $20 can be represented with 15/20
so x bags for $4 can be represented with x/4

now if you proportion it out (ricochet), 4x15 is 60, 60 divided by 20 is 3, so you can buy 3 bags of potatoes with $4.

OR

you could do 15/20 is 0.75

0.75 times 4 is 3, so $4 can buy you 3 bags.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

This is a proportion problem. It assumes that if you know 3 of the four parts of a 2 ratio proportion, you can solve for the 4th one.

Givens

number of bags = 15

Cost = 20

Different cost = 4

number of bags = ?

Formula

Number of bags / Cost = different number of bags/ New Cost

Solution

15/20 = x / 4              Multiply both sides by 4

15*4/20  = x / 4 * 4

60/20 = x

Answer x = 3

That is 4 dollars gets you 3 bags of potatoes

Given f(x) = 4x + 2, find f-1(3).
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

  1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The inverse function tells you the input value that corresponds to the given output value of the function.

<h3>Application</h3>

You want f^-1(3), which is the value of x such that f(x) = 3.

  f(x) = 3 = 4x +2

  1 = 4x . . . . . . subtract 2

  1/4 = x . . . . . divide by 4

The inverse function of 3 is 1/4:

  \boxed{f^{-1}(3)=\dfrac{1}{4}}

A bucket is leaking. After 3 hours the bucket has leaked 3/4 of an ounce. How many ounces per hour is the bucket leaking?
Bogdan [553]
The bucket leaks 1/4 ounce per hour. Because the numerator is 3 and it took 3 hours, you can give 1/4 to every hour (3/4 divided by 3).
