Answer: To translate the given sentence into an equation, we can start by replacing the words "five times the sum" with the mathematical expression "5(x + 9)". Then, we can replace the word "number" with the variable y, to get:

5(y + 9) = 3

Next, we can distribute the 5 to obtain:

5y + 45 = 3

Finally, we can subtract 45 from both sides to solve for y:

5y = -42

y = -42/5

y = -8.4

Therefore, the equation that represents the given sentence is y = -8.4.

The best price for her to purchase ice cream is given as follows:

D. $49.60 / five gallon tub.

The best price is obtained applying the proportions in this problem, dividing the price by the volume of the cartoon/tub, in ounces.

For item a, the price per ounce is calculated as follows:

3.99/24 = $0.16625 per ounce.

The ratios for the remaining items are given as follows:

Hence the prices for items b, c and d are given as follows:

Due to the lower cost per ounce, the option D represents the best option for her to purchase ice cream.

Answer: A scale is a ratio of the size of the representation (such as a drawing) to the size of the real-world object being represented. In this case, Patty's drawing uses a scale of 1 inch = 45 feet, and Jamie's drawing uses a scale of 2 inches = 35 feet.

In order to find the side length of Jamie's drawing of one of the side length we need to use a proportion:

Jamie's side length / Patty's side length = Jamie's scale / Patty's scale

So if we know one of the side length of Patty's drawing we can find the side length of Jamie's drawing. Let's assume that the side length of Patty's drawing is x

x / Jamie's side length = 45 / 35

So we can isolate Jamie's side length by multiplying both sides by Jamie's scale of 35ft/2 inches

Jamie's side length = (x*35)/45

This is the length of one side length in Jamie's drawing using the scale of 2 inches = 35 feet. If you don't have the length of one side in patty's drawing you can't find the side length of Jamie's drawing.

Step-by-step explanation:

slope-intercept form of an equation for the line perpendicular to y = -2x + 5 is

y = 1/2x -7

The straight line that makes 90 degrees angle with a given line is called the perpendicular to the first line. The indicator of a line perpendicular to other line is the slope that is negative reciprocal to each other.

we know the slope intercept form of an equation of line is y = mx + b

m is the slope of line and b is the y intercept.

given, equation of a line, y = -2x+5

the slope m = -2 and y intercept, b = 5

we need to write an equation in slope-intercept form that perpendicular to the above line and containing the point (8, -3)

The required line of equation will have a slope equal to the negative reciprocal of the given slope.

hence, the slope will be m = 1/2

the equation of straight line will be y = 1/2x + b

as the line passes through the points (8, -3)

so, -3 = 1/2 × 8 + b

   b = -7

y intercept of the new equation = -7

the new equation of line is y = 1/2x -7

Proportionately, the quantity of ore required to obtain 30 kilograms of silver is 2,000 kilograms.

Proportion refers to two or more ratios equated to each other.

We can use decimals, fractions, or percentages to show the proportional value of one quantity or variable to another.

The quantity of ore that can produce 30 kilograms of silver, based on the given proportion, can be obtained by equating the ratio to the required silver quantity.

The percentage of ore that is pure silver = 1¹/₂% = (0.015)

The quantity of silver needed = 30 kilograms

The quantity of ore that can produce 30 kilograms of silver = 2,000 kilograms (30/0.015)

1¹/₂% = 30 kg

100% = 2,000 kg (30/1¹/₂%)

Thus, given the ratio or proportion of pure silver to ore, the quantity of ore needed to obtain 30 kilograms of silver is 2,000 kilograms.

Using division operation, since Benjamin jogs at a pace of 16 minutes per mile, in 45 minutes he will jog 2.8 miles.

The division operation is one of the basic mathematical operations, including addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

The division operation involves dividing the dividend (the numerator) by the divisor (the denominator) to obtain the quotient (the result).

The distance between Benjamin and Felix = 35 miles

Benjamin's jogging pace or speed = 16 minutes per mile

Felix's jogging pace or speed = 10 minutes per mile

The number of miles that Benjamin can jog in 45 minutes = Time/Speed

The sugar required to make each batch of brownies is 3/26 cups

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Brownies = 4 1/3 batches

Sugar = 1/2 cups

The amount of sugar required to make each batch of brownies is then calculated as

Sugar needed = Sugar/Brownies

Substitute the known values in the above equation, so, we have the following representation

Sugar needed = (1/2)/(4 1/3)

Evaluate

Sugar needed = 3/26

Hence, the amount is 3/26 cups

Using mathematical operations, the construction worker requires C. 2 pounds of cement to mix 3 pounds of sand.

The basic mathematical operations are subtraction, addition, division, and multiplication.

These mathematical operations combine numbers, variables, mathematical operands, and the equation symbol to solve mathematical problems.

In this situation, we can apply the mathematical operation of multiplication to determine the quantity of cement required for 5 pounds of gravel.

The quantity of gravel per pound of sand = 1²/₃ = 1.667 pounds

For 3 pounds of sand, the quantity of gravel required = 5 pounds (1²/₃ x 3)

The quantity of cement per pound of gravel = ²/₅ pounds or 0.4

For 3 pounds of sand and 5 pounds of gravel, the quantity of cement required = 2 (5 x 0.4) or (5 x ²/₅)

Thus, 2 pounds of cement are needed to mix with 3 pounds of sand and 5 pounds of gravel.
