The ratio from blue to yellow paint is 2:3
I need helpppppp ASAP

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: It's not possible to create 38 liters of green paint with whole liters of blue and yellow paint.

======================================================

Explanation:

The ratio of blue to yellow is 2:3. We have 2 parts blue and 3 parts yellow.

Multiply both parts by x to get 2x:3x

We have 2x parts of blue paint, and 3x parts of yellow paint.

x is some positive whole number.

In total, we have 2x+3x = 5x liters of paint. Set this equal to 38 and solve for x to get

5x = 38

x = 38/5

x = 7.6

We don't get a whole number, which contradicts how we set up x earlier. This must mean that Mark must use a fractional liters, instead of whole liters.

-------------------------

Here's another way to look at it:

Lets say he uses 2 liters of blue and 3 liters of yellow. This mixes to 2+3 = 5 liters of green.

Now let's say he uses 4 liters of blue and 6 of yellow. I multiplied both parts by 2. This mixes to 4+6 = 10 liters of green.

We continue this process to get the following

6 liters of blue + 9 liters of yellow = 15 liters of green8 liters of blue + 12 liters of yellow = 20 liters of green10 liters of blue + 15 liters of yellow = 25 liters of green12 liters of blue + 18 liters of yellow = 30 liters of green14 liters of blue + 21 liters of yellow = 35 liters of green16 liters of blue + 24 liters of yellow = 40 liters of green

As you can see, we don't land on 38 liters of green. We can get to 35 liters or 40 liters, but not 38. Each of the amounts of green are a multiple of 5.

This is confirmation that Mark will have to use some fractional amount of liters of blue and yellow paint.

A public rectangular-shaped pool is 15 m by 30 m. Public pools must be surrounded by a cement
walkway of uniform width whose area is at least as large as the area of the pool. What is the
minimum width of the walkway? Show the steps of your solution.

Answers

Answer:

15m I think

Step-by-step explanation:

Sorry if im wrong

The area of a rectangle can be found by taking the product of length and breadth. The minimum width of the walkway is 15 m.

What is a Rectangle?

A quadrilateral that has its opposite sides as equal and all the angles are right angle is called a Rectangle. The diagonal of a rectangle is greater than its length and breadth.

The given rectangle has dimension of 15 × 30.

Suppose the uniform width of walkway be d.

Then, the area of walkaway can be written as

Area = (15+d)×(30+d) - 15×30

As per the question,

15×30 =  (15+d)×(30+d) - 15×30

(15+d)×(30+d) = 2×15×30

d^2 + 45d - 900 = 0

d = -60,15

As, length cannot be negative. Thus, d = 15m.

Hence, the minimum width of walkway is 15m.

Irrational numbers cannot be written as a fraction, or the ratio of two whole numbers.

You would have to find a GCF (greatest common factor) and multiply it out of the radical.

ex.

[tex]\sqrt{6}[/tex] = 2 x 2 x 2

when you have to multiplier numbers then you can combine two of them to take outside the radical, meaning 2x2x2

2[tex]\sqrt{2\\}[/tex]

so [tex]\sqrt{6}[/tex] would be closest to the positive 2 on the number line and 2 notches.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]6\ \text{cm}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The sides of the larger rectangle are 10 cm and 6 cm.

The sides of the part cut out are 3 cm and 2 cm.

The part cut out is attached to one of the sides of the rectangle.

Perimeter of the new shape will be

[tex]6+7+2+3+2+3+2+13=38\ \text{cm}[/tex]

Perimeter of old shape

[tex]2(10+6)=32\ \text{cm}[/tex]

Suppose y varies directly as x, and y=26 when x=8. Find x when y=65.

Answers

Answer:

when y=65, x=20

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

y varies directly as x

and y=26, when x=8

We need to find x, when y = 65

y varies directly as x can be written as:

[tex]y\:\alpha \:x\\y=kx[/tex]

Where k is constant of proportionality.

Finding k, when y=26 and x=8

[tex]y=kx\\26=k(8)\\k=\frac{26}{8}\\k=3.25[/tex]

We get the value of k = 3.25

Now, we need to find value of x, when y=65 and k=3.25

[tex]y=kx\\65=3.25(x)\\x=\frac{65}{3.25}\\x=20[/tex]

So, when y=65, x=20

Find a probable next term for the sequence 9,20,39,72,125,204,315

Answers

Answer:

464

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is 9.

The difference between the second and first term = 20 - 9 = 11

The difference between the third and second term = 39 - 20 = 19

The difference between the fourth and third term = 72 - 39 = 33

The difference between the fifth and fourth term = 125 - 72 = 53

The difference between the sixth and fifth term = 204 - 125 = 79

The difference between the seventh and sixth term = 315 - 204 = 111

The differences are 11, 19, 33, 53, 79, 111

From the difference: 19 - 11 = 8, 33 - 19 = 14, 53 - 33 = 20, 79 - 53 = 26, 111 - 79 = 32

We can see from the first difference (8), if we add 6 we get 14, if we add another 6 we get 20, if we add 6 we get 26, if add 6 we get 32

We get the eight term using:

32 + 6 = 38

let x be the difference between the eight term and the seventh term, hence:

x - 111 = 38

x = 111 + 38

x = 149

Therefore:

eighth term - seventh term = 149

eighth term - 315 = 149

eighth term = 149 + 315

eighth term = 464

The next probable term is 464
