1 answer:

8 0

Lets make it
4x+5x+7x=96
so we can tell the smallest share is 4x
then we 16x=96
96 divided by 16, we get x=6
so the smallest share is 4x6=24
hope it can help

faltersainse [42]

Answer:

$y=12.5x+225$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of minutes

y ----> the amount of fuel in gallons

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the unit rate or slope

b is the y-intercept or initial value

we have that

The unit rate or slope is equal to

$m=12.5\ \frac{gal}{min}$

$b=225\ gal$ ----> initial value (value of y when the value of x is equal to zero)

substitute

$y=12.5x+225$

Pudge has three times as many apples as Ace, and Ace has twice as many as Christi. How many apples does each have if pudge has 1

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

<h3>Pudge has 12 morethan apples that is 24 apples and both Ace and Christi has not more than 12 apples together they has atmost 12 apples.The apples does each having is</h3><h3>P = Pudge's Apples =24</h3><h3>A = Ace's Apples =8</h3><h3>and C = Christi's Apples=4.</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let P = Pudge's Apples

Let A = Ace's Apples

Let C = Christi's Apples

<h3>To find how many apples does each have if Pudge has 12 more than both Ace and Christi together:</h3>

Given that P = 3A , A = 2C and P = A + C + 12

Substitute the value for P in P = A + C + 12 we get

3A = A + C + 12

3A-A=C+12

2A=C+12

From A = 2C we have that $C=\frac{A}{2}$

Substitute the value C:

$2A=\frac{A}{2}+12$

$2A-\frac{A}{2}=12$

$\frac{4A-A}{2}=12$

$\frac{3A}{2}=12$

$3A=12\times 2$

$A=\frac{24}{3}$

Substituting the value of A in P=3A we get

P = 3(8)

Substituting the values of P and A in P = A + C + 12

$24=8+C+12$

$24=C+20$

$24-20=C$

4=C

Rewritting we get

<h3>∴ C=4 </h3><h3>Hence Pudge has 12 morethan apples that is 24 apples </h3><h3>and both Ace and Christi has not more than 12 apples together they has atmost 12 apples</h3>

Casey bought sandwiches and bags of chips. Each sandwich cost three times asmuch as a bag of chips. She bought 5 sandwiches for

Lerok [7]

Answer:

Casey Bought 6 bags of chips

Step-by-step explanation:

If each sandwich costs 3 times the amount of a bag of chips and the sandwich is 6 dollars, the chips are 2 dollars. Casey bought 5 sandwiches and spent $30 dollars on sandwiches. Since the total was $42 dollars you have $12 dollars left to get your total of $42. 2x6 = 12 so therefore Casey bought 6 bags of chips.
