Answer:

1.5b (kg)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's begin by listing out the variables we were given:

weight of the watermelon = b (kg),

weight of watermelon = (2/5) * weight of candies

weight of candies = 1 ÷ (2/5) = 1 ÷ 0.4

weight of candies = 2.5b (kg)

How much is the weight of the box of candies greater than the weight of the watermelon is given by:

weight of the box of candies - weight of watermelon= 2.5b - b = <u>1.5b</u> (kg)

<u>Therefore, the weight of the box of candies is greater than the weight of the watermelon by 1.5b (kg) </u>

Mr. Gonzales has only $42.50 to spend at a clothing store. He wants to buy a shirt that costs $29, including tax, and some brace
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer: The equation is $29 + x*$4.50 = $42.50, and the solution is x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The data we have is:

Gonzales has $42.50

He wants to buy:

a shirt that costs $29

some bracelets that cost $4.50 each.

The equation that we need to solve is:

Total cost = money that Gonzales has.

The cost is $29 + x*$4.50

where x is the number of bracelets he can buy.

The equation that we need to solve is:

$29 + x*$4.50 = $42.50

to solve it we must isolate x:

x*$4.50 = $42.50 - $29 = $13.50

x = 13.50/4.50 = 3

So we have that Mr. Gonzales can buy a total of 3 bracelets.

The diagram shows a scale drawing of a playground. In the scale drawing the playground has a length of 16 cm and a width of 8 cm
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

3 m : 4 cm, 3 m/4 cm, 3 m to 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The actual playground will have an area of 72 m², and have one side be double the other, because the scale drawing does so too.

We can make a system of equations: l * w = 72, l = 2w

Substitute: 2w * w = 72

Simplify: 2 * w² = 72

Divide: w² = 36

Square root: <em>w = 6 m</em> (no negatives due to distances always > 0)

Substitute: l = 2 * 6 m

Simplify: <em>l = 12 m</em>

This means that the relations of one side is <em>6 m : 8 cm</em>. That can be simplified to 3 m : 4 cm.

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

f(x) = 500(1.1)^x

And we want to know what repreent the value 500 for this equation. If we see the general expression for an exponential function we have:

y= ab^x

Where a is the constant or the initial amount, b te base and x the independnet variable (time)

For this special  case we know that:

a = 500, b =1.1

And 500 represent the constant or initial value for the function

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following function given:

f(x) = 500(1.1)^x

And we want to know what repreent the value 500 for this equation. If we see the general expression for an exponential function we have:
