Respuesta :
From each construction paper number of apples can be cut = 5.
From a sheet of paper number of leaves can be cut = 7.
Let us assume number of construction paper required = x.
Therefore, x construction paper would cut out = 5x apples.
But we need to cut total 1045 apples.
Therefore, we can setup first equation as :
5x = 1045.
Dividing both sides by 5, we get
5x/5 = 1045/5
x=209.
Let us assume number of sheet of paper required = y.
Therefore, y number of sheet of paper would cut out = 7y.
But we need to cut total 1463 leaves.
Therefore, we can setup second equation as:
7y = 1463.
Dividing both sides by 7, we get
7y/7 = 1463/7
y = 209.
Therefore,
We got two equations 5x = 1045 and 7y = 1463.
From those equations we can get 209 construction paper and 209 sheets of paper required to cut out 1045 apples and 1463 leaves.
Answer:
Equation is 5x + 7y = 2508
418 sheets of paper required
Step-by-step explanation:
Now according to the given data, we know that we have to cut 1045 apples and 1463 leaves. We also know that 5 apples can be cut from single paper and 7 leaves can be cut from single paper.
Assume paper required for apples is x and paper required for leaves is y
Now, for apples,
1045/5 = x or 5x = 1045, so x = 209
For leaves
1463/7 = y or 7y = 1463 = 209
Total number of sheets required
x + y
209 + 209 = 418
So, if we need to know total number of papers, we need to combine both equations
5x + 7y = 1045 + 1463
5x + 7y = 2508
