In a herd of x cattle, the ratio of the number of bulls to cows is 1:6. Find the number of bulls in the herd in terms of x.
The answer is 1+6= 7
So 1 is bull
No. Of bull = 1/7x
I hope it helps :)
1+6 = 7
so bulls = 1/7 x
and cows = 6/7 x
so here the total of 1 ratio 6 is 7 in the question it says there is one bull and the total is 7 so bull= 1/7 cows=6/7
In herd of X cattle the ratio of the bull to cow is 1 : 10. Find the number of bull in terms of X.
The total number of parts in the ratio is 1+10=11.
Therefore, the ratio of bulls to the total number of cattle is 1/11.
So, the number of bulls in terms of X is (1/11)X.
John does a map of his village from every 2 km on the ground , he used 1 cm on his map. How far is Mondia from silma on his map. If the two village are 5 km apart?
Since John used a scale of 1 cm to represent 2 km on his map, we have a scale factor of:
2 km = 1 cm
To find the distance between Mondia and Silma on John's map, we can use a proportion:
2 km / 1 cm = 5 km / x
where x is the distance between Mondia and Silma on the map. We can solve for x as follows:
2 km / 1 cm = 5 km / x
2x = 5 cm
x = 5 cm / 2
x = 2.5 cm
Therefore, the distance between Mondia and Silma on John's map is 2.5 cm.
A map has scale of 1 : 50000. Two towers are 5.2 km apart. How many cm on the map is this?
The scale of the map is 1 : 50000, which means that 1 cm on the map represents 50000 cm or 500 m on the ground.
To find out how many cm on the map is the 5.2 km distance between the towers, we need to convert it to meters:
5.2 km = 5200 m
Then we can use the scale to set up a proportion:
1 cm / 500 m = x cm / 5200 m
where x is the number of cm on the map that represents the distance between the towers. To solve for x, we can cross-multiply and simplify:
1 * 5200 = 500 * x
5200 = 500x
x = 10.4 cm
Therefore, the distance of 5.2 km between the towers on the map is equivalent to 10.4 cm.
A map has scale of 1 : 15000. How many km in actual distance is represented by the length 12.4 cm on the map??
If one centimeter on the map represents a distance of 1/15000 km on the ground, then 12.4 centimeters on the map represent:
12.4 cm × (1/15000 km/cm) = 0.00082667 km
Therefore, the length 12.4 cm on the map represents an actual distance of approximately 0.00082667 km (or 0.82667 meters) on the ground.
The distance between two factories is 6.5 km on a map this distance is shown as 3.25 cm. What is the scale of this map?
To find the scale of the map, we need to determine how many kilometers on the ground are represented by one centimeter on the map. We can do this by setting up a proportion:
x km / 1 cm = 6.5 km / 3.25 cm
where x is the number of kilometers represented by one centimeter on the map. We can solve for x by cross-multiplying and simplifying:
3.25x = 6.5
x = 6.5 / 3.25
x = 2
Therefore, the scale of the map is 1:200000. This means that one centimeter on the map represents 2 km on the ground.
If 16 kg of lamb plaps at King Wee supper market cost k30.00. calculate the cost of 10 kg?
We can start by finding the cost per kilogram of lamb chops:
Cost per kg = K30.00 ÷ 16 kg
Cost per kg = K1.875
Now that we know the cost per kilogram, we can calculate the cost of 10 kg of lamb chops:
Cost of 10 kg = Cost per kg × 10 kg
Cost of 10 kg = K1.875 × 10 kg
Cost of 10 kg = K18.75
Therefore, 10 kg of lamb chops at King Wee supper market would cost K18.75.
A ship has sufficient food to supply 600 passenger for 3 weeks. How long would the food last for 900 people?
Let's assume that the amount of food required per person per week is constant, so that the total amount of food required is proportional to the number of people and the number of weeks:
food required ∝ (number of people) × (number of weeks)
We can write this proportion as:
food required = k × (number of people) × (number of weeks)
where k is a proportionality constant that we need to find.
We know that the food supply is enough for 600 passengers for 3 weeks, so we can use this information to find k:
food supply = k × 600 × 3
Dividing both sides by 1800, we get:
food per person per week = k/3
Now we can use this expression for k to find how long the food would last for 900 people:
food required = (food per person per week) × (number of people) × (number of weeks)
We want to solve for the number of weeks, so we can rearrange this equation to get:
number of weeks = food required / [(food per person per week) × (number of people)]
Substituting the values we know, we get:
number of weeks = (food supply) / [(food per person per week) × (number of people)]
number of weeks = (600 passengers × 3 weeks) / [(k/3) × 900 passengers]
number of weeks = (1800 k) / (k 900 × 3)
number of weeks = 2 weeks
Therefore, the food would last for 2 weeks for 900 people.
