if five potatoes together have a mass of one kilogram and eight pears together have a mass of 1200 grams,which has the greater mass a potato or a pear?explain

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Solutions 

We know that five potatoes together have a mass of one kilogram and eight pears together have a mass of 1200 grams. 

potatoes = one kilogram 

eight pears = 1200 grams 

To solve the problem we have to convert 1 kilogram into grams. 

kilogram  = 1000 grams 

Now we have 

5 potatoes = 1000 grams 

eight pears = 1200 grams  

The next step is to use division:

1000 ÷ 5 = 200 -> 1 potato weighs 200 grams.

1200 ÷ 8 = 150 -> 1 pear weighs 150 grams

Therefore a potato has a greater mass than a pear. 

Answer 2
Answer: 1kg = 1000 grams
Use division:

1000 / 5 = 200 -> 1 potato weighs 200 grams.

1200 / 8 = 150 -> 1 pear weighs 150 grams

Thus a potato has a greater mass than a pear.

Solve the equation for x. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth 8(x-7)=454

Answers

Answer: 63.75 or 225/4

I just did it on an IT Inspired inspired Calculator to solve for X and 63.75

Step-by-step explanation:

8(x - 7) = 454

x - 7 = 454/8

x - 7 = 57

x = 57 + 7

x = 64

Answers

Answer: x= 41

Explanation: Angles 1 and 2 have to equal 180° since they are supplementary. So you put 3x+2x-25=180, you then add like terms. 5x-25=180 Then you have to isolate x, so you add 25 to both sides of the equation. 5x=205, then you divide both sides by 5. So your answer is x=41.

You can check to make sure by plugging in x for 41 .

Hope this helps!

Combine like terms 3Y plus Y plus 6Y

Answers

3y+y+6y

Notice that all these terms have the 'y' variable in them, meaning they are all like terms.

'y' by itself acts as a One, when adding it to other like terms.

3y+6y=9y

Then, add the singular y to the equation = 9y+y=10y

10y. That is the answer
