Answer:

No. They are not in proportion

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf \dfrac{4}{5} \ \text{is in the simplest form}$

$\sf \text{Simplest form of $\dfrac{12}{20}$} = \dfrac{12 \div 4}{20 \div 4}=\dfrac{3}{5}$

So, they are not in proportion

Heron Island is a coral cay in the Great Barrier Reef. Around Heron Island (and elsewhere in Australia) there are 2 color morphs

kobusy [5.1K]

In case A, as the error would be a difference of 1, the assumption could be mantained, but in case B the difference will be bigger, showing that the ratio is not 3:1 but 4:1.

<h3><u>Ratios</u></h3>

Given that a preliminary study was carried out to test the hypothesis that the ratio of white to dark herons on the island was 3:1, but A) a small census found 16 white morphs and 4 dark, to determine if the assumption of a 3 :1 ratio could be rejected, and B) to determine the same question if the census were larger with 160 white morphs and 40 dark, the following calculations must be made:

3 + 1 = 4
16 + 4 = 20
4 = 20
3 = X
60 / 4 = X
15 = X
Therefore, as the error would be a difference of 1, the assumption could be mantained.

3 + 1 = 4
160 + 40 = 200
150 = 3:1
In this case, the difference will be bigger, showing that the ratio is not 3:1 but 4:1.

8x+3y= 28 and 7x-3y=2<br>solve for x and y simontaniasly using elimination

EleoNora [17]

Answer:

x=2, y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

When using elimination, the objective is to elimate one variable. In this case, we see that "y" can easily be eliminated by adding the two equations together since you will get 3y + (-3y) which will eliminate y because the value would become 0, letting us solve for x.

$\left \{ {{8x+3y=28} \atop {7x-3y=2}} \right. +\\$

Then we get

$15x =30$ , because the y's will eliminated, and 8x+7x is 15x, and 28+2 is 30.

Then divide by 15 on both sides and you get x=2

If x=2, then we can substitute that value into any of the previous given equations and find the value of y.

8×2 +3y = 28

16+3y=28

3y=12

y=4

So the answer to your system of equations would be x=2, and y=4

You can substitute the answers we found to see that they satisfy the equation.

Hope this helped.

The ratio of jumps to falls for ice skater Rhonda is 4 falls to every 15 jumps. At this rate, how many times will she not fall i

Inessa05 [86]

<u>Answer:</u>

Rhonda will not fall 264 times in 360 jumps.

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, The ratio of jumps to falls for ice skater Rhonda is 4 falls to every 15 jumps.

We have to find At this rate, how many times will she not fall in 360 jumps.

Now,

For 15 jumps → 4 falls

For 360 jumps → n falls

Now apply Chris cross method,

$15 \times n=360 \times 4 \rightarrow n=\frac{360 \times 4}{15}=24 \times 4=96$

So, she falls 96 times in 360 jumps.

Then, number of times she will not fall = 360 jumps – 96 falls = 264 times.

Hence, Rhonda will not fall 264 times in 360 jumps.
