First find the common denominator
5/8=25/40
2/5=16/40
3/4=30/40
Next you can cross multiply
25/40=x/10 pounds
16/40=x/10 pounds
30/40=x/10 pounds
First
25(10)/40= 6.25 pounds
16(10)/40= 4pounds
30(10)/40= 7.5 pounds
These are the amounts that were left in the bag
10-6.25=3.75
10-4=6
10-7.5=2.5
3.75+6+2.5= 12.25
All together they put 12.25 pounds of soil in the flower bed
Answer:
The measure of the angles are 40 degrees and 50 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the measure of one angle in degrees
y ----> the measure of the complementary angle in degrees
we know that
If two angles are complementary, then their sum is equal to 90 degrees
so
----> equation A
we have that
----> equation B
Substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y
Find the value of x
therefore
The measure of the angles are 40 degrees and 50 degrees
