A restaurant orders corn tortillas and flour tortillas. The ratio of the number of corn tortillas to the number of flour tortillas is 2 : 3. What is the ratio of the number of flour tortillas to the total number of tortillas?
3 : 8

3 : 5

2 : 8

2 : 5

Answers

Answer:

The answer  is 3:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the Ratio is to flour tortillas to total, we already know that the number of flour tortillas is 3.  

The total number is 5. If you add up both flour tortillas and corn tortillas the total number would be 5.

The ratio would be 3:5

Corn to flour
2:3
Flour to total
3:5
You answer is 3:5

Ross has a model truck. It has a scale of 1 inch for every 32 inches on a real-sized truck. He wants to build a garage for the model at the same scale.

Given that the garage for a real-sized truck is 12 feet wide, how wide should his model garage be?

Answers

Answer in decimal form:  4.5 inches

Answer as a mixed number = 4 & 1/2 inches

========================================================

Explanation:

" It has a scale of 1 inch for every 32 inches on a real-sized truck" means the the scale is 1:32

Put another way, the real life width is 32 times greater than the scale model.

So we can form the equation

y = 32x

where x is the scale model width and y is the actual real life width.

---------

The garage in the real world is 12 feet wide, or 12*12 = 144 inches wide.

Plug y = 144 into the equation and solve for x

y = 32x

32x = y

32x = 144

x = 144/32

x = 4.5

His scale model garage must be 4.5 inches wide

4.5 inches = 4 & 1/2 inches = 4 and a half inches

Answer:

4.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert all measurements to the mase units

12 feet  ->  144 in

Now, we will identify what 144 inches would be as a model scale. We will do so by dividing 144/32 since 32inches equals 1 model scale inch.

144/32= 4.5

therefore, the garage will be 4.5 inches as a model scale.

1 yard in 6 minutes

Question 1
Part A

Find the unit rate.

Answers

The unit rate is 1 yard :: 6 minutes. This is correct because you cannot divide each number evenly.

The unit rate in feet per second is 1/120 feet/sec.

Given that, 1 yard in 6 minutes.

What is the unit rate?

Unit rate can be defined as the ratio between two measurements with the second term as 1. It is considered to be different from a rate, in which a certain number of units of the first quantity is compared to one unit of the second quantity.

We know that 1 yard=3 feet and 1 minute = 60 seconds

Now, 6 minutes = 360

So, unit rate is 3/360

= 1/120 feet/sec

Therefore, the unit rate in feet per second is 1/120 feet/sec.

Amil took $65.00 to go shopping, and he bought 2 pair of jeans for $27.00 each. How much change will he have? Choose the expression that is a correct translation of the problem.
(2 x 27) - 65
65 – (2 x 27)
65 – (2 + 27)
65 – 2 + 27

Answers

Answer:

B) 65 – (2 x 27)

Step-by-step explanation:

65 is you total, 2 is the amount of jeans and 27 is the individual price of the jeans.

Since you want to know how much is left over, you subtract how much you spent which would be, in this case, the jeans.

You bought 2 jeans, each for 27 dollars so you multiply the two to see how much for both jeans.

Subtract that from the total.

Hope this helps! (^-^)

Answer:

65-(2 x27)

Step-by-step explanation:

You already know that Amil has 65$ so that's the first part.

And then it tells you that he bought 2 pairs of jeans and the price.

So if u multiply how many jeans he got times the price that tells you how much it cost. So it cost 54$

Last but not least you subtract 54$(the price) from 65$(how much money he had) to get the amount of change left over.
