How can you use a rate to compare the costs of 2 boxes of cereal that are different sizes

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: You'd have to use their weights and work out price/gram or you could alternately work out the volume (this is pretty hard because most cereals come in very awkward plastic containers so I recommend price/gram).

So just do this for both boxes:
Price / Mass (in grams)

The one with the greater value will be the less cost-effective method.

A local little league has a total of 65 ​players, of whom ​80% are left​-handed. How many left​-handed players are​ there?

Answers

Answer:

52 left-handed players

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is asking, how many players is 80% of 65.

"of" = multiply

80% = 0.8 (to convert percent to decimal, move the decimal point two times to the left)

0.8 x 65 = 52 left-handed players

Chad washes windows after school to make some extra money. He charges $5.50 to wash each window. If the customer provides the supplies, Chad deducts $3.25 from the total cost. One customer paid a total of $27.50 and did not provide supplies. Which equation could be used to find the number of windows, w, that Chad washed for this customer? 5.5w + 3.25 = 27.5 5.5w - 3.25 = 27.5 5.5w = 27.5 5.5 - 3.25w = 27.5

Answers

Answer:

\$5.50w=\$27.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Chad charges $5.50 per window washed, and he deducts $3.25 from the total cost if the costumer provides the supplies. However, in this case, the costumer doesn't provide the supplies, so Chad will charge $5.50 per window.

This relation can be expressed as

\$5.50w

Where w represents windows.

If he charges $27.50, the relation is

\$5.50w=\$27.50

Therefore, the right answer is the third choice \$5.50w=\$27.50

If you want to find the number of windows Chad washed, you just have to solve the expression

\$5.50w=\$27.50\nw=(\$27.50)/(\$5.50)\n w=5

Chad washed 5 windows.

3.25w=27.5 is the correct answer.

List the measurements of three different rectangular prisms that each have a surface areaof 20 square units?

Answers

Answer:

3 measurements of different rectangular prisms that each have a surface area

of 20 square units is given as

(4.5 × 1 × 1)

(2 × 1 × 2.67)

(2 × 3 × 0.80)

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangular prism is a cuboid and the surface area of a cuboid with length, x, width, y and height, z, is given as

S = 2xy + 2yz + 2xz

S = 2[xy + yz + xz]

So, the question asks us to list 3 different measurements of a rectangular prism with surface area of 20 square units.

S = 2[xy + yz + xz] = 20

[xy + yz + xz] = 10

So, with a little of trial and error, we can vary the values of x, y and z to obtain 3 separate measurements that give a surface area of 20 square units.

[xy + yz + xz] = 10

Let x = 4.5, y = 1, z = 1

(4.5×1) + (1×1) + (4.5×1) = 10, works!!!

(x, y, z) = (4.5, 1, 1)

[xy + yz + xz] = 10

Again, we can fix arbitrary values for two sides and calculate for the last side.

If x = 2 units, y = 1 unit,

(2×1) + (1×z) + (2×z) = 10

2 + 3z = 10

3z = 8

z = (8/3) = 2.667 units

(x, y, z) = (2, 1, 2.67)

[xy + yz + xz] = 10

And lastly, if x = 2, y = 3

(2×3) + (3×z) + (2×z) = 10

6 + 5z = 10

5z = 4

z = (4/5) = 0.80 unit

(x, y, z) = (2, 3, 0.80)

Hope this Helps!!!

Plumber gets 75 cents per km travelled what would he get if he travelled 120 kms for the day

Answers

You would just multiple 75 cents by 120 km.  That'd give you the amount. 120 x 0.75= 90.  That is $90. 

Which is bigger 2/5 or 4/9

Answers

The easiest way to solve this comparison without any unusual comparisons is to find a common denominator for the two fractions.

2/5 = 18/45
4/9 = 20/45

Since 20/45 is bigger than 18/45, we know that 4/9 is greater than 2/5
