In a salad recipe, the ratio of carrots to cucumbers - 1

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: Hello there!

The pairs in the table are: 3 carrots to 9 cucumbers, (dividing both sides by 3, we get 1 carrot to 3 cucumbers) wich has a ratio of 1:3.

after we got 4 carrots to 12 cucumbers, we could divide both sides by 4, and we also get a ratio of 1:3

And we can see this for all the pairs in the table, you always need to use cucumbers equal to three times the amount of carrots tat you used.

So if you use one carrot you need to use 3 cucumbers; wich ads to a total of 4 vegetables.

This is the less amount of vegetables that you can use because you can't use less than one carrot. (because you need to use whole vegetables)

Then the correct option is C.
Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

4

A health insurance payment of $34.55 was deducted from ms. Donaldson's earnings for the week. After the insurance deduction, payroll taxes equal to 28% of the balance were deducted. What was the amount that Ms. Donaldson received?

Answers

I think that this quesion is missing some background, that is that Ms. Donaldson earned 907.10

So the 34.55 were deduced from this number, and the remaining amount was:

907.10-34.55=872.65

After this, further 28% were deduced, which means that 100-28=72% were left.

And this is:72%*872.55= 628.236 (which we round to 628.24!)

 

Answer: the answer would be 628.24!

A painter has a 24-foot ladder that he is using to paint a house. For safety reasons, the ladder must be placed at least 8 feet from the base of the side of the house. To the nearest tenth of a foot, how high can the ladder safely reach?

Answers

pythagorean theorem
legnth of lader is hypotonuse (leaning against wall and wall is one leg and distance from wall to bottom of ladder is other leg)

so
a^2+b^2=c^2 where a and b are legs and c=hypotonuse

a=8

c=24
8^2+b^2=24^2
64+b^2=576
subtract 64
b^2=512
square root both sides
22.62
round to tenth
22.6

answer is 22.6 ft

When solving an equation using the distributive property that involves distributing fractions, usually the first step is to multiply by the LCD to eliminate the fractions in order to simplify computation. Is it necessary to do this to solve 1/4(5x+6)=1/3(9x-24)? Why or why not?

Answers

It's not necessary, but it makes solving quicker, and more efficient. You'd have to find the LCD at some point, and doing it at the beginning helps you to not encounter as many errors as you would otherwise

Does the equation represent a linear or nonlinear function explain 2x+3y=7

Answers

linear, because there is still a slope function (-2/3)

The equation is linear because you can rewrite it in slope-intercept form.

What is 5.96 as a fraction

Answers

There are a couple of ways to write this. One, the simplest in my opinion, is this:
Five wholes and 96 hundredths. To write this it is:
5 96/100
However, this can be simplified and we know this because their GCF (greatest common factor) is 4. Divide each by 4. 
= 24/25

(NOTE: DONT SIMPLIFY THE WHOLE NUMBER!)
