Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 1 from both sides so you are left with 2x=5x-45

then subtract 5x from both sides and you have -3x=-45

then finally divide -3 from -45 to get x=15

The area of a small pond is 78.5 yds. What is the diameter of the pond?

Zolol [24]

Answer:

Diameter of pound = 10 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Given area of circular pond = 78.5 square yd

To find the diameter of the pond.

Solution:

The pond being circular in shape, the area of pond can be given as:

⇒ $\pi\ r^2$

where $r$ represents radius of the pond.

Thus, we have:

⇒ $\pi\ r^2=78.5$

Using $\pi=3.14$

⇒ $3.14r^2=78.5$

Solving for $r$

Dividing both sides by 3.14

⇒ $\frac{3.14r^2}{3.14}=\frac{78.5}{3.14}$

⇒ $r^2=25$

Taking square root both sides.

⇒ $\sqrt{r^2}=\sqrt{25}$

⇒ $r=\pm5$

So, radius = 5 yd, as distances are always positive.

Diameter = $2\times radius=2\times 5\ yd= 10\ yd$

Thus, diameter of pound = 10 yd

Jing spent 1/3 of her money on a pack of pens, 1/2 of her money on a pack of markers, and 1/8 of her money on a pack of pencils.

Reika [66]

As per the problem

Jing spent $\frac{1}{3}$ of her money on a pack of pens.

$\frac{1}{2}$ of her money on a pack of markers.

and $\frac{1}{8}$ of her money on a pack of pencils.

Total fraction of money spent cab be given as below

Fraction of Money Spent = $\frac{1}{3} +\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{8}$

Take the LCD of denominator, we get LCD of (3,2,8)=24

Fraction of Money Spent = $\frac{8+12+3}{24} =\frac{23}{24} \\\\$

$\\ \text{Hence fraction of Money Spent }=\frac{23}{24} \\ \\ \text{Fraction of Money left}=1-\frac{23}{24} \\ \\ \text{Simplify, we get}\\ \\ \text{Fraction of Money left}=\frac{24-23}{24} \\ \\ \text{Fraction of Money left}=\frac{1}{24}$
