Answer:

1.) 900

2.) 300

3.) 59

4.) 48

5.) 12

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) 300 x 3 = 900

2.) 50 x 6 = 300

3.) 2,124 / 36 = 59

4.) 180 / 36 = 5 | 240 / 5 = 48

5.) 6 / 2 = 3 | 4 x 3 = 12

Answer 2

Proportional reasoning refers to the ability to compare and analyze relationships between two or more quantities that change in a consistent way. It involves understanding the concept of proportionality and applying it to solve problems.

1.) If a business jet burns 300 gallons of gasoline per hour, it burns 900 gallons of gasoline in a three-hour flight. This can be calculated by multiplying the burn rate of 300 gallons per hour by the duration of the flight, which is three hours.

2.) On average, one gallon of gasoline weighs approximately six pounds. Therefore, fifty gallons of gasoline weighs 300 pounds. This can be calculated by multiplying the weight of one gallon (six pounds) by the quantity of fifty gallons.

3.) For every one yard, there are thirty-six inches. To find the number of yards in 2,124 inches, we divide 2,124 by 36. The result is 59 yards. This can be calculated by dividing the total number of inches by the conversion factor of thirty-six inches per yard.

4.) A person who weighs 240 pounds burns 180 calories per mile of running. A person who weighs 48 pounds, burns thirty-six calories while running one mile. To find the number of pounds for which the person burns thirty-six calories while running one mile, we can set up a proportion. If we let x represent the weight in pounds, the proportion would be: 240 pounds / 180 calories = x pounds / 36 calories. Solving for x gives us x = 48 pounds.

5.) A rice casserole recipe serves four people and requires two tablespoons of butter. If a rice casserole requires six tablespoons of butter, it serves twelve people. This can be determined by setting up a proportion: 4 people / 2 tablespoons = 12 people / 6 tablespoons. Solving for the unknown number of people gives us 12 people.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-1,4)and has a slope of -5?

Answers

Answer:

y = -5x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

NOTE: This equation is in slope-intercept form. The equation in point-slope form is y - 4= -5(x + 1).

The formula for calculating slope-intercept form is y = mx + b.

Substitute the slope and the x and y intercepts for the equation: 4 = -5(-1) + b

4 = 5 + b

Subtract 5 from both sides.

So, -1 = b.

Now substitute the slope for m and -1 for b.

y = -5x + -1

= y = -5x - 1

If 420 women at a conference comprise 40% of all the people at the conference, how many people are at the conference?

Answers

Answer:

1050 people

Step-by-step explanation:

if there are x people at a conference

then 40% of x = 420

40% can be written as 40/100 --> 4/10 --> 2/5

2/5 * x = 420

x = 420 * 5/2

x = 1050

Find the value of x.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The median of a trapezoid equals one half of the sum of the bases

AC is a median and EB and DF are the bases.

hence AC = 1/2(EB + DF)

We are given that EB = 13 and that AC = 19. And we need to find DF

To do so we plug in what we are given and solve for DF

AC = 1/2(EB + DF)

AC = 19, EB = 13

19 = 1/2(13 + DF)

Now solve for DF

* Multiply both sides by 2*

19 * 2 = 38

1/2(13 + DF) * 2 ( the 1/2 and 2 cancel out and we're left with 13 + DF )

We then have 38 = 13 + DF

* Subtract 13 from both sides *

38 - 13 = 13 - 13 + DF

We get that DF = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the number of pounds and divide by 12 people

2/3 ÷12

Copy dot flip

2/3 * 1/12

Rewriting

2/12 * 1/3

1/6 * 1/3

Answer:

Each person will get 1/18 pounds of spice from the bag

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 2/3 by 12:

Make 12 a fraction by adding 1 as the denominator:

2/3 ÷ 12/1

Reciprocate the second fraction:

2/3 ÷ 1/12

Turn it into multiplication:

2/3 x 1/12 = 2/36

SIMPLIFY 2/36:

2/36

Divide both sides by 2:

1/18

so your answer is 1/18

Then find the area of the rectangle

A = l*w = 5*6 = 30

Then find the area of the semi circle, which is 1/2 the area of the circle

The diameter is 6 so the radius is 3

A = 1/2  pi r^2 = 1/2 (3.14) (3) ^2 = 14.13

So that;

QR is similar to UT, PR is similar to US, but PQ is NOT similar to TS.

Thus, the triangles are NOT similar.

6. Scale factor = [tex]\frac{15}{10}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12}{8}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9}{6}[/tex]

Caroline,Colin & Sarah share some money in the ratio 5:9:6.
In total, Caroline and Sarah receive £44. How much does Colin get?

Answers

Answer:

Caroline gets 4*5 = 20 pounds

Colin gets 9 * 4     = 36 pounds

Sarah gets 6*4      = 24 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratios are 5x + 9x + 6x

5x + 6x = 11x

Caroline and Sarah get a total of 44 pounds. They don't get 44 pounds each.

11x = 44            Divide by 11

x = 44/11

x = 4

Colin gets 9x

x = 4

9*4 = 36

Colin gets 35 pounds.

Caroline gets 4*5 = 20 pounds

Colin gets 9 * 4     = 36 pounds

Sarah gets 6*4      = 24 pounds.

Caroline and Sarah get 20 + 24 = 44

Captain Liz is going to load her cruise ship with bags of sugar. She has room for 19 bags of sugar. She has allotted for 121 pounds of sugar on her ship.

Correct answers with explanations will earn you brainliest :)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]19 = s + p[/tex] and [tex]121 = 7s + 10p[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First we use constraints given by the problem to set up two equations:

We can only have a total of 19 bags, so:

[tex]19 = s + p[/tex]

Then, we want to maximize her sugar load. Using the info on the weight of each bag and the max carrying capacity:

[tex]121 = 7s + 10p[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the sugar from 7 pound bags be represented by = s

And let the sugar from 10 pound bags be represented by = p

As given, Captain Liz has room for 19 bags of sugar.

This becomes [tex]s+p=19[/tex]      .......(1)

Also given is , she has room for 19 bags of sugar, so equation becomes:

[tex]7s+10p=121[/tex]     ............(2)

Hence, these are the correct equations.
