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>

There is a safety fence around a circular pool with a gate. The gate is 150 cm wide. What is the length of the fence not includi
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The length of the fence is 6.28x-150 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the circular pool has the radius (r ) = x cm.

Since the pool is in a circular shape so the circumference will be the length of the fence. Moreover, there is a 150cm wide so we have to subtract the 150 cm from the value of circumference in order to get the actual length of the fence.

Length of fence  = Circumference of the pool – width of the gate.

Length of fence = 2 π r – 150

Length of fence = 2 × 3.14 × x – 150

Length of fence = 6.28x – 150 cm.
