The ration for women to men is: 

5:8 
104:x 

8x104=5x
832=5x 
832/5=x 
166.4 =x 

However, you cannot have 0.4 of a person, so the number of men is 166. 

Total number of employees are: 166+104=270 

Hope I helped :)

A science experiment calls for mixing 3 and two-thirds cups of distilled water with 1 and three-fourths cups of vinegar and Two-
Sonbull [250]

Answer: 6 and 1/12 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we add 3 and 2/3 + 1 and 3/4 + 2/3. We can change these mixed numbers into improper fractions to make the math easier:

11/3 + 7/4 + 2/3

Next, we can add the 11/3 and 2/3 since they have the same denominator (bottom number). This gives us 13/3.

13/3 + 7/4

Now that we have two fractions, we just add them together. This leaves us with 6 and 1/2.

If you're having trouble with adding fractions with denominators that aren't the same, here are some videos (if you can't click the link, just copy and paste into the search bar):

Okay, so this is a right angle. That means it is 90 degrees.

So far we know that on side of the angle is 47 degrees.

To get the other angle we will just subtract 90 - 47 = 43

Which equation represents the line that passes through (-3,5) and is parallel to the graph of y= -2/3x+5
Nostrana [21]
Parallel to the graph of y = -2/3x + 5
means that it has the same slope

Rewrite
y = -2/3x + b
plug in the given coordinates to solve for b
5 = -2/3(-3) + b
5 = 2 + b
subtract 2 from both sides
3 = b

plug that back into the equation
y = -2/3x + b
y = -2/3x + 3

The answer is <span>B. y= -2/3x+3</span>

This line is parallel to y = -2/3x + 5 and it passes the point (3, 5).

Hope this helps :)
