Yao Xin puts 3/10 liters of potting soil in each pot for planting flowers. She has 17/3 liters of potting soil. How many pots ca

babunello [11817]

In this scenario, we'll define the following variables:

x: total volume of potting soil in liters.

y: quantity of potting soil allocated to each pot in liters.

To determine the number of pots, we can use the expression:

$N = \frac{x}{y}$

Substituting in the respective values yields:

$N = \frac{\frac{17}{3}}{\frac{3}{10}}$

Reformatting gives us:

$N = \frac{170}{9}$

$N = 18.8$

When rounding down to the nearest whole number, we find:

$N = 18$

The conclusion is:

Yao Xin is capable of filling 18 pots.

Tim was given a large bag of sweets and ate one third of the sweets before stopping as he was feeling sick. The next day he ate

Leona [12618]

Answer: Initially, he had 27 sweets.

Step-by-step explanation: The most logical approach is to work backwards from what remained after the third day to the start of the first day.

On the third day, he consumed one-third of his sweets and was left with 8. If we let the total sweets on day three be denoted as a, then one-third of a equals what he ate and the two-thirds left equals 8, giving us:

8/a = 2/3

By cross-multiplying, we find:

8 x 3 = 2a

Therefore, 24 = 2a

This leads to a = 12.

Let the sweets on day two be represented as b. If he consumed one-third of b and was left with 12, we have the same structure; hence:

12/b = 2/3

Cross-multiplying gives:

12 x 3 = 2b

So, 36 = 2b, leading to b = 18.

Denote the number of sweets on day one as x. If one-third of x was eaten and 18 remained, we can set up the equation:

18/x = 2/3

Again, cross-multiplying results in:

18 x 3 = 2x

Which simplifies to 54 = 2x, yielding x = 27.

Thus, Tim received 27 sweets at the start.
