Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
x = ¼y
y - x = 12
y - ¼y = 12
¾y = 12
y = 16
x = ¼y = 4
10/5 = 1/x
cross multiply
10x = 5
x = 5/10
x = 1/2...u need 1/2 gallon per fish
The correct answer is 1.
So, circle the 0 after the equals sign because the equation does not equal 0.
Anything raised by the power of 0 is 1.
This is known as the zero exponent rule :)
Answer:
3500 tons
Step-by-step explanation:
The Greenpoint factory produced 2/5 of the bricks that the Consolidate Brick Company produced in 1991.
Let the amount of bricks produced by the Greenpoint factory be g and the amount of bricks produced by the Consolidated brick company be c.
Therefore:
g = 2/5 * c = 2c/5
That year, the Greenpoint factory produced 1400 tons of bricks. This implies that:
1400 = 2c/5
To find the amount that the Consolidated Brick Company produced, solve for c:
1400 = 2c/5
1400 * 5 = 2c
7000 = 2c
c = 7000 / 2 = 3500 tons
The Consolidated Brick Company had a total production output of 3500 tons in 1991.
