Answer:
18 white flowers
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given ratio:
Red : White
2 : 3
If Sally used 12 red flowers, how many white flowers will she use?
Let the number of white flowers Sally uses be represented by x
This is calculated as:
2/3 = 12/x
Cross Multiply
2 × x = 3 × 12
x = 3 × 12/2
x = 18 white flowers
Therefore, if Sally used 12 red flowers, the number of white flowers will she use is 18 white flowers.
Answer:
2a+3b
Step-by-step explanation:
There wouldn't be a simplfied answer or solution if you don't have a solution for either a or b or both. And they are not like terms, so you can't add them together.
So the answer is 2a + 3b.
I hope this helps!
Have a great day!
Step-by-step explanation:
1/2 represents every fraction, where the denominator (bottom part) is twice the numerator (top part).
like 4/8 or 6/12 or 128/256 or ...
what do we need in the denominator to calculate with 15/16 ?
the same : 16.
and what is half of 16 ? 8.
so, we need the 1/2 based on 16th = 8/16.
so, the dog ate 8/16 (1/2) of the original 15/16.
what was left was
15/16 - 8/16 = 7/16 pound
