18. amos potted pansies and marigolds to sell in his greenhouse. during a busy weekend, he sold 48 pansies and 96 marigolds. what fraction of the flowers sold were marigolds? a. 3⁄8 b. 1⁄3 c. 2⁄3 d. 3⁄4

a

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe it would be a. maybe

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks what fraction of the flowers that Amos sold were marigolds, knowing that he sold:

The fraction will be calculated as:

number of marigolds sold / total of flowers sold

So first we need to calculate the total number of flowers that were sold:

total number of sold flowers = 48 + 96 = 144 flowers

So now we can calculate the fraction:

96 marigolds / 144 flowers = 96/144 = 2/3

(We go from 96/144 to 2/3 by simplifying the equation by dividing the numerator and denominator by a common factor)

2/3 of the sold flowers were marigolds

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x

answer: a
