Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
In the last step, you can see that the fraction 
has been multiplied by its reciprocal 
, making it cancel out. The reciprocal has been multiplied to both sides, so all you need to do is multiply 
· :
6 · 5 = 30
3 · 1 = 3
<u><em>So now you should have the fraction:</em></u>
x = 
<u><em>But, you can still simplify the fraction by dividing 30 by 3:</em></u>
x = 10
Answer:
A- $55k
Step-by-step explanation:
common sense if there was in increase by only 8% that the only logial answer that would be the A- : $4444 when you multiply 8% of 55,555
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
We can test each pair making each ratio into its simplest form.
For A 2/3 is already in its simplest form and 9/15=3/5. they are not equivalent.
For B, 5/8 is already in its simplest form and 15/21=5/7. they are not equivalent.
For C, 3/12=1/4, and 6/18=1/3. They are not equivalent.
For D, 4/10=2/5, and 12/30=2/5. They are equivalent.
Answer:
10 spiders and 12 ants
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to create two equations
s = # of spiders
a = # of ants
s + a = 22 heads
since each spider and ant has one head
8s + 6a = 152 legs
since every spider has 8 legs and every ant has 6
s + a = 22 can be turned into s = 22 - a
now use substitution
8(22 - a) + 6a = 152
176 - 8a + 6a = 152
176 - 2a = 152
24 = 2a
a = 12
now that you have the number of ants you can solve for the number of spiders
s + a = 22
s + 12 = 22
s = 10
