How many bags of potatoes are on the van at the start.

Answers

Answer 1

69

How many bags of potatoes are on the van at the start.

Answer 2

The total number of bags the van have at the starting is 70.

What is ratio?

Ratio is a term that is used to compare two or more numbers. It is used to indicate how big or small a quantity is when compared to another.

According to the given question.

The sacks of potatoes delivered in two different shops are in the ratio 3:7.

Also, one shop has 28 more bags than the other.

Let the number of bags of potatoes at one shop be x.

Then, the bags of potatoes in another shop = x + 28

Therefore,

[tex]\frac{x}{28 + x } =\frac{3}{7}[/tex]

⇒ [tex]7x = 3(28 + x)[/tex]

⇒ [tex]7x = 84 + 3x[/tex]

⇒ [tex]4x = 84[/tex]

⇒[tex]x = 21[/tex]

So, the total number of bags

[tex]=x + (x + 28)[/tex]

[tex]=2x + 28[/tex]

[tex]= 2(21) + 28[/tex]

[tex]= 42 + 28[/tex]

[tex]= 70[/tex]

Hence, the total number of bags the van have at the starting is 70.

Answers

Answer:

  2/3 gallon

Step-by-step explanation:

If y is the amount Tommy should use, and he want to keep the same proportion, then the proportion is ...

  y/(2 gal) = (1/2 gal)/(3/2 gal) = yellow/blue

  y = (2 gal)(1/3) = 2/3 gal

Tommy should use 2/3 gallon of yellow paint.

Hi there I don't usually ask questions but I'm having a bit of trouble solving for X on this equation. 1+(3x-3)=1 You don't necessarily have to give me the answer, a break down would be just fine :) ​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x=1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]1+(3x-3)=1[/tex]

First, you have to take the one that is outside of the Parenthesis and take it to the other side. That would mean it would be this:

[tex]3x-3=1-1[/tex]

1 - 1 is 0

[tex]3x-3=0\\[/tex]

Move the -3 to the other side, which makes it positive;

[tex]3x=3[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3

[tex]x=1[/tex]

If you want to check it, you can replace 1 in the original equation:

[tex]1+(3X1-3)=1[/tex]

[tex]1+(0)=1[/tex]

[tex]1=1[/tex]

So x=1

Solve the equation.
y + 3 = -y + 9
O y = 1
O y = 3
O y = 6
O y = 9

Answers

Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation

y + 3-3 = -y + 9-3

Simplify

y = -y + 6

Add y to both sides of the equation

y+y=-y+6+y

Simplify

2y = 6

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term

2y/2 = 6/2

Simplify

y = 3

[RevyBreeze]

The solution of the Equation is y= 3.

We have, the equation is

y + 3 = -y + 9

y + y = 9 - 3

2y = 6

Now, divide both side we get

2y = 6

2y/ 2 = 6/ 2

y = 3

Thus, the solution of y is 3.

The speed of the commercial jet is 180 miles per hour faster than the speed of the private airplane. Find the speed, in miles per hour, of both airplanes.
commercial jet
X mph
private airplane
X mph

Answers

Answer:

commercial: 540 mphprivate: 360 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Time is inversely proportional to speed for the same distance covered. The ratio of commercial to private speeds is ...

  2.4 : 1.6 = 3 : 2

If p is the speed of the private plane, then 3/2p is the speed of the commercial plane and the difference of speeds is ...

  3/2p -p = 180

  1/2p = 180 . . . collect terms

  p = 360 . . . . . . speed of the private plane

  3/2p = 540 . . . . speed of the commercial plane

The commercial jet flies 540 mph; the private plane flies 360 mph.

C.) The amount at a given time can be calculated by multiplying the previous amount by a value less than 1.

Answers

Answer:

C. The amount at a given time can be calculated by multiplying the previous amount by a value less than 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exponential decay is when an exponential function decreases per x-value. These functions go by a multiplier and are therefore, not linear, so you cannot add or subtract. Because the function is decaying, it is multiplying by an amount less than 1, since the multiplier is 1 - r, where r is the percent.

two magazines ? (ii) what percentage do not read any of the threes ?

Answers

Answer:

je

Step-by-step explanation:

suis suis pasforet en anglais

We're dealing with percentage. hence, our universal set: U=100%.

Let:A = set of those that read magazine A

B = set of those that read magazine B

C = set of those that read magazine C

(i) we are looking for n{(A n B) u (B n C)}

so, n{(A n B) u (B n C)} = n(A n B) + n(B n C) -n(A n B n C)

n{(A n B) u (B n C)} = 20% + 30% - 10%

: n{(A n B) u (B n C)} = 40%

(ii) We're looking for {A' n B' n C'}

{A' n B' n C'} = n(U) - n(A u B u C)

{A' n B' n C'} = 100% - n(A u B u C)

n(A u B u C) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) - n{(A n B) - n(A n C) -n(B n C) + n(A n B n C)

n(A u B u C) = 60% + 50% + 50% -30% - 30% - 20% + 10%

n(A u B u C) = 90%

however, {A' n B' n C'} = 100% - n(A u B u C)

: {A' n B' n C'} = 100% - 90%

{A' n B' n C'} = 10%
