This is a question of proportionality. However, it is not direct proportionality as it is expected that as the number of tractors increases, the work is finished faster as opposed to fewer number of tractors. This is referred to as inverse proportionality.
Therefore;
6 tractors ----- 10 days
18 tractors --- x days
Then,
x = (6*10)/18 = 10/3 days = 3 days, and 8 hours.
This means that 18 tractors will take 3 days and 8 hours to collect the same harvest.
Juice bottles are J, replace j with 6 in the equation and solve for w:
3w + 4(6) = 39
3w + 24 =39
Subtract 24 from both sides:
3w = 15
Divide both sides by 3:
w = 15/3
w = 5
You can buy 5 water bottles.
Answer:
8 teams
5 girls and 4 boys
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine how many teams we can have , we need to determine the greatest common factor.
girls:40 = 5*8
boys:32 = 4*8
The greatest common factor is 8
So we will have 8 teams
There will be 5 girls and 4 boys on each team
Answer:
c = 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets set up an equation.
You can get
3-5c + 1 = 1-c to show that it is one less.
now we can solve it.
So by combining like terms, we get:
4-5c = 1-c
that then becomes:
3-5c = -c
--> 3 = 4c
--> c = 3/4
