Farmer Bill sold potatoes at the farm market. He sold a quarter to the first person, 4/9 of what was left to the second person, and the third buyer bought 4/5 of what was left and the last 10 lb. How many pounds of potatoes did farmer Bill sell?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Farmer Bill sold 120 lb of potatoes

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose farmer Bill had x lb of potatoes. He sold a quarter to the first person. A quarter is written as (1/4)x. After that, Bill had x-(1/4)x = (3/4)x.

Then he sold 4/9 of what was left to the second person, thus it was left 1-4/9=5/9 of the remaining potatoes. Multiplying both factors:

[tex]\frac{5}{9}*\frac{3}{4}x=\frac{5}{12}x[/tex]

This is the remaining portion of the potatoes.

Finally, he sold 4/5 of it and the last 10 lb. This means 1 - 4/5 = 1/5 of the remaining is equivalent to 10 lb:

[tex]\frac{1}{5}*\frac{5}{12}x=\frac{1}{12}x[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]\frac{1}{12}x=10[/tex]

x = 120 lb

Farmer Bill sold 120 lb of potatoes

Answer 2

The Farmer will sold 120 lb of potatoes.

Let us consider that farmer have x lb of potatoes.

He sold a quarter to the first person, that is  [tex]\frac{x}{4}[/tex]

Potatoes left,[tex]=x-\frac{x}{4} =\frac{3x}{4}[/tex]

4/9 of what was left to the second person,

 Potatoes sell to second person is, [tex]\frac{3x}{4} *\frac{4}{9} =\frac{x}{3}[/tex]

the third buyer bought 4/5 of what was left

       that is,          [tex]\frac{4}{5}*(\frac{3x}{4} -\frac{x}{3} ) =\frac{x}{3}[/tex]

Potatoes left [tex]=\frac{5x}{12} -\frac{x}{3} =\frac{x}{12}[/tex]

Since, Potatoes left = 10 lb

So,   [tex]\frac{x}{12} =10\\\\x=12*10=120[/tex]

Thus, The Farmer will sold 120 lb of potatoes.

f(x) = x + 8; translation 5 units down

Answers

Answer:

Please check the graph diagram attached.

From the diagram,

The red line represents the parent function f(x) = x + 8The blue line represents the translated function f(x) = x + 3

It is clear the parent function f(x) = x+8 has been translated down 5 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule to determine the translating down 'b' units:

f(x) – b

It means if we have to translate a function f(x) 'b' units down, all we need is to subtract the 'b' units from the function output.

Given the function

f(x) = x + 8

In order to translate 5 units down, all we need is to subtract 5 units from the function.

i.e.

f(x) = x + 8 - 5

f(x) = x+3

Thus, we conclude that f(x) = x+3 is the translated function.

Please check the graph diagram attached.

From the diagram,

The red line represents the parent function f(x) = x + 8The blue line represents the translated function f(x) = x + 3

It is clear the parent function f(x) = x+8 has been translated down 5 units.

Two pounds of grapes cost $6. How much does it cost for 5 pounds of grapes

Answers

Answer:

if we take the total cost of the grapes, and divide by the number of pounds of grapes we can conclude that each pound of grapes costs $3. so 5 pounds of grapes multiplied by $3 per pound, gives us $15 for 5 pounds of grapes.

Answer:

$15

Step-by-step explanation:

If 2 pounds of grapes cost $6, then one pound of grapes would be $3, because 6 divided by 2 (because there is two pounds) would equal 3. 5 pounds of grapes would cost $15 because 3+3+3+3+3 (or 5 x 3) is equal to 15.

Solve for (-8/5) x - 6 = -54

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

-8/5 - 6 = -54

-8x/5 - 6 = -54

-8x/5 −  6 +6 = -54 plus 6

Then Add the numbers and simplify

so then the answer would be x=30

If cot 0= 4/3, find csc 0

Answers

Answer:

5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Trigonometric ratio

Cot θ = Adjacent side/Opposite side

It is given that,

Cot θ  = 4/3

Adjacent side = 4

Opposite side = 3

Csc θ = Hypotenuse/Opposite side

To find the Hypotenuse

Hypotenuse² = Opposite side² + Adjacent side ² = 3²+ 4²

Hypotenuse = √(3²+ 4²) = 5

To find Csc θ

Csc θ = Hypotenuse/Opposite side = 5/3

tarts.
A. $4.3
B. $7.7
C. $9.84
D. $13

Answers

Answer: $8.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of a bread = x

Let the price of a tarts = x - 1

If 3 times the price of a loaf of bread is $29.5 more than half of the price of a box of tarts. This can be represented as:

3 × x = 1/2 × (1 - x) + 29.5

3x = 0.5 - 0.5x + 29.5

3x + 0.5x = 29.5 + 0.5

3.5x = 30

x = 30/3.5

x = 8.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Write three equivalent ratios

To solve these questions, we do the following:

Whatever is being applied to a part of the ratio must be done on the other part

Solving (9):

[tex]Ratio = \frac{2}{7}[/tex]

Multiply through by 2

[tex]Ratio = \frac{2*2}{7*2} = \frac{4}{14}[/tex]

Multiply through by 3

[tex]Ratio = \frac{2*3}{7*3} = \frac{6}{21}[/tex]

Multiply through by 5

[tex]Ratio = \frac{2*5}{7*5} = \frac{10}{35}[/tex]

Hence, the equivalents are: [tex]\frac{4}{14}, \frac{6}{21}, \frac{10}{35}[/tex]

Solving (10):

Ratio = 1.5 to 3.5

Multiply by 2

[tex]Ratio = 1.5 * 2\ to\ 3.5 * 2[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = 3\ to\ 7[/tex]

Multiply by 3

[tex]Ratio = 1.5 * 3\ to\ 3.5 * 3[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = 4.5\ to\ 10.5[/tex]

Multiply by 4

[tex]Ratio = 1.5 * 4\ to\ 3.5 * 4[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = 6\ to\ 14[/tex]

Hence, the equivalents are:  3 to 7, 4.5 to 10.5 and 6 to 14

Solving (11):

Ratio = 6.25 to 1.25

Divide by 5

[tex]Ratio = 6.25/5\ to\ 1.25/5[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = 1.25\ to\ 0.25[/tex]

Multiply by 2

[tex]Ratio = 6.25*2\ to\ 1.25*2[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = 12.5\ to\ 2.5[/tex]

Multiply by 4

[tex]Ratio = 6.25*4\ to\ 1.25*4[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = 25\ to\ 5[/tex]

Hence, the equivalents are:  1.25 to 0.25, 12.5 to 2.5 and 25 to 5

Solving (12):

[tex]Ratio = 3 : 3\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Multiply by 2

[tex]Ratio = 3 *2: 3\frac{1}{2}*2[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = 6: 7[/tex]

Multiply by 4

[tex]Ratio = 3 *4: 3\frac{1}{2}*4[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = 12: 14[/tex]

Multiply by 6

[tex]Ratio = 3 *6: 3\frac{1}{2}*6[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = 18: 21[/tex]

Hence, the equivalents are: 6:7, 12:14 and 18:21

Solving (13)

[tex]Ratio = 1\frac{2}{3} : \frac{5}{4}[/tex]

Convert mixed fraction to improper fraction

[tex]Ratio = \frac{5}{3} : \frac{5}{4}[/tex]

Multiply by 2

[tex]Ratio = \frac{5}{3}*2 : \frac{5}{4}*2[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = \frac{10}{3} : \frac{5}{2}[/tex]

Multiply by 3

[tex]Ratio = \frac{5}{3}*3 : \frac{5}{4}*3[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = 5 : \frac{15}{4}[/tex]

Multiply by 12

[tex]Ratio = \frac{5}{3}*12 : \frac{5}{4}*12[/tex]

[tex]Ratio = 20 : 15[/tex]

Hence, the equivalents are: 10/3:5/2, 5 : 15/4, and 20:15
