a supplier sells 2 1/4 lbs mulch for every 1 1/3 lbs gravel. the supplier sells 172 pounds of them combined. how many pounds of each does the supplier sell

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

108 lb mulch
64 lb gravel

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a supplier sells 2 1/4 lbs mulch for every 1 1/3 lbs gravel, you want to know the weight of each if 172 total pounds were sold.

Ratio

The ratio of pounds sold can be found as ...

mulch : gravel = 2 1/4 : 1 1/3 = 9/4 : 4/3 = 27/12 : 16/12 = 27 : 16

Fraction

The fraction of mulch sold is 27/(27+16) = 27/43. In pounds, that fraction is ...

(172 lb)(27/43) = 108 lb . . . . . mulch

The rest is sold as gravel:

172 lb -108 lb = 64 lb . . . . . gravel

The supplier sold 108 lb of mulch and 64 lb of gravel.

$7.50 admission; 20% off; 5.75% tax

Answers

Below is the solution:

Find the discount.
20% of $ 7.50 = 0.2 x 7.5 = 1.5

Subtract the discount from the regular price.
$ 7.50 - $ 1.5 = $6

The sale price of the admission is $6. Find the sales tax.
5.75% of $6 = 0.0575 x 6 = 0.345

Add the sales tax to the sale price.
$6 +$0.35 = $6.35

So, the admission price including tax is $6.35.

Answer:

$6.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Discount = Original Price x Discount %/100

Discount = 7.5 × 20/100

Discount = 7.50 x 0.20

You save = $1.50

Original Price - Discount

7.50 - 1.50=

$6.00

You still have to add the tax:

5.75 = 0.0575

0.0575 x 7.50=

$0.65

Add $0.65 to your discount and you get the answer

$6.65

1 cubic centimeter = 1 milliliter, so your 8cm cube is 8x8x8 = 512 cubic centimeters.
This would equate to a volume of 512 milliliters which is equal to just over 1/2 liter (0.512 liters).

0.14m= how many cm. get it right please

Answers

Here, I'll show you an EASY conversion acronym:
Kangaroos, Hopping Down Mountains Drinking Chocolate Milk:
That is KHDMDCM.
Now, here's what they ACTUALLY stand for:
Kilo, (kilometers, kilograms, etc.), Hecto, (hectograms, hectometers, etc.), Deca, (decameters, decagrams, etc.), M stands for THREE things, Meters, liters, and grams, Deci, (decimeters, decigrams, etc.), Centi, (centimeters, centigrams, etc.), and Milli, (millimeters, milligrams, etc.).
Now, you look at the diagram I have provided below:
You put 0.14 under Meters, liters, and grams, because it's 0.14 meters.
Now, whenever you move RIGHT, you move the decimal RIGHT every time you move. If there is a WHOLE number, (like 14), you add a ZERO to the number, so when you would move 14 to the RIGHT, it would become 140. Now when you go LEFT, you move the decimal to the LEFT, and if there are ANY ZEROS, you would take them out.
Now you might get a little confused when moving left;
Look, EVERY NUMBER has a decimal, like the number 14 itself.
14 has an imaginary decimal, which is 14.0. EVERY NUMBER HAS THAT. So, if you are moving LEFT, and you DON'T have any zeros, you would simply have 14 into 1.4.
So, with that out of the way, let's start figuring out how many centimeters 0.14 is equivalent to.
So we move to the RIGHT, because the centimeters is on the RIGHT, and now we move the decimal to the right.
Now it would be 01.4, but it's the same as 1.4, so we'll just put 1.4 under deci.
Now we have 1.4 DECIMETERS, but not quite yet centimeters.
We must keep moving to the right.
Once we move that decimal AGAIN, it is now 14.
WOO HOO! WE FIGURED IT OUT!
So 0.14m = 14 cm.
You saw how we figured that out? You could use this technique on ANY conversion problem like this in the future!
I hope I helped! =D

In a simpler way than the other answer, the answer is 14 cm. This is because there are 100 cm in a meter. So to work this out just multiply 0.14 by 100 to work out the answer. The answer is now 14.
