Polly stacked the tins from five boxes of cat food onto an empty shelf in a supermarket. There were 15 tins of cat food in each box. At the end of the week there were 20 tins left on the shelf. The rest of the tins had been sold. Write the number of boxes of cat food that had been sold, as: (a) A mixed number (b) An improper fraction

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) [tex]3\frac{2}{3}[/tex] boxes of cat food had been sold.

(b) [tex]\frac{11}{3}[/tex] boxes of cat food had been sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

Polly stacked the tins from five boxes of cat food onto an empty shelf and there were 15 tins of cat food in each box. That is,

5 × 15 tins of cat food were stacked onto the empty shelf.

5 × 15 = 75

Hence, 75 tins of cat food were stacked onto the empty shelf.

Also, from the question,

At the end of the week there were 20 tins left on the shelf and the rest of the tins had been sold, that is

75 - 20 tins had been sold

75 - 20 = 55

Hence, 55 tins of cat food had been sold.

To determine the number of boxes of cat food that had been sold,

Since there are 15 tins of cat food per box, then

we will divide 55 tins of cat food that had been sold by 15 tins of cat food per box

55 ÷ 15 = [tex]\frac{55}{15}[/tex]

Hence, [tex]\frac{55}{15}[/tex] boxes of cat food had been sold

(a) As a mixed number

[tex]\frac{55}{15} = 3\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Hence, [tex]3\frac{2}{3}[/tex] boxes of cat food had been sold.

(b) As an improper fraction

[tex]\frac{55}{15} = \frac{11}{3}[/tex]

Hence, [tex]\frac{11}{3}[/tex] boxes of cat food had been sold.

Arianna is packing scented candles and candle holders into gift boxes. She has 84 candles and 48 holders, and each box must contain both items. She puts the same number of candles in each box, and the same number of holders in each box. What is the maximum number of gift boxes Arianna can pack, and how many scented candles and candle holders will each box have?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If she has 84 candles and 48 holders, we can write out the factors of both values as shown

For candles

84 = 2×2×3×7

84 = 12×7

For 48

48 = 2×2×2×2×3

48 = (2×2)×(2×2×3)

48 = 4×12

48 = 12×4

From both factors, we can are that 12 common to both of them. This means that the maximum number of gift boxes Ariana can pack is 12

The other factors will give the amount of scented candles and candle holders that each box will have. This means that each box will have 7scented candles and 4 holders.

At Greenwood Landscaping, rock costs $47.50 per ton. How much would 2.5 tons cost?

$94.25
$118.75
$107.75
$332.50

Answers

Answer:

Hey!

Your answer is $118.75!

Step-by-step explanation: How did I get this?

STEP 1: So we know that for a ton of rock costs us $47.50...

To get 2 tons all we have to do is to MULTIPLY $47.50 by 2...

(47.50 x 2 = 95)

STEP 2: So for $95, you will get 2 tons of rock!

Now to get the .5 tons of rock in price form, we have to get the price of the whole 2.5 tons and DIVIDE BY 2

(47.50 ÷ 2 = 23.75)

STEP 3: So now we have the costs for 2 tons and the price for HALF a ton.

What we do now is easy...we ADD THE VALUES TOGTHER!

(95 + 23.75 = $118.75)

The result of $118.75 after adding them together is the PRICE OF 2 TONS!

I HOPE THIS HELPED YOU!

Answer:

$118.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Okay, we know a rock per ton is $47.50.

What we need to know is how much 2.5 tons cost.

So if we take our 2.5 tons and we multiply it with our $47.50, this is what it will look like:

($47.50 * 2.5) = $118.75

So 2.5 tons of rock costs $118.75

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost for children under twelve at a certain buffet restaurant is a base charge of a dollar plus twenty-five cents for each year of the child's age. Represent this cost as an expression, using y to stand for the child's age in years. Then use the expression to find the cost for a child who is nine.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Cost = 1 + 0.25y[/tex]

[tex]Cost =3.25[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Base\ Amount = \$ 1[/tex]

[tex]Additional = 25cents[/tex] of child's age

Solving (1):

Determine the cost function.

Represent the years as y.

So, we have:

[tex]Additional = 25cents[/tex] * y

Convert 25 cents to dollars.

[tex]25 cents = 25 * \$0.01[/tex]

[tex]25 cents = \$0.25[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]Additional = \$0.25 * y[/tex]

The cost amount is then:

[tex]Cost = Base\ Amount + Additional[/tex]

[tex]Cost = 1 + 0.25y[/tex] --- This is the cost function

Solving (b): Cost of 9 years old.

In this case;

[tex]y = 9[/tex]

Substitute 9 for y in [tex]Cost = 1 + 0.25y[/tex]

[tex]Cost =1 + 0.25 * 9[/tex]

[tex]Cost =1 + 2.25[/tex]

[tex]Cost =3.25[/tex] --- This is the cost for a child of 9

Answer:

1+0.25y, 2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

You would express the added 25 cents times the age of the child since the age is represented by the variable y, you would put 0.25y

then to find what the cost is for a nine year old you would multiply 9 by 25 and at the end of multiplying you would move the decimal from zero two times to the left. In case you don't understand how you could move the decimal from zero, there is always a decimal to the right of a whole number where the number ends its just not seen because there is no decimal in the number to represent. The decimal would still be there just it would be invisible but it becomes visible when there is a decimal number to represent.
