This is the concept of algebra, to calculate the proportion of wool in each item we proceed as follows;
Let the amount of wool used for hat be x
amount of wool in sweater will be 5x
the amount of wool used in scarf will be x-5
therefore the total amount of wool will be:
x+5x+(x-5)=550
x+5x+x-5=550
7x-5=550
7x=550+5
7x=555
hence;
x=555/7
x=79
the amount used in hat x=79g
amount used in sweater 5x=395g
amount used in scarf=79-5=74g
Answer:
3 2
/7
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide using long division. The whole number portion will be the number of times the denominator of the original fraction divides evenly into the numerator of the original fraction, and the fraction portion of the mixed number will be the remainder of the original fraction division over the denominator of the original fraction.
Five is an integer and if u round your number down you will get five
Anita can clean 1/8 portion of the pool in 1 hour
Chao can clean 1/6 portion of the pool in 1 hour
Both of them working together can clean 1/8 + 1/6 = 7/24 portion of the pool in 1 hour
Therefore, it will take both of the working together 1/(7/24) = 24/7 or 3 3/7 hours to clean a typical pool.
The mean, since it's the average of whatever your data is.
