Step-by-step explanation:
The way to find missing numbers in equivalent ratios is to multiply the means (the first denominator and the second numerator) and multiply the extremes (the first numerator and the second denominator). It sounds really complicated, but it is quite simple =)
2/5 = x/10
The means in this equivalent ration are 5 and x. The extremes are 2 and 10.
5x = 20
Now solve =)
x = 4
That was pretty simple. Let's move on to the next one. Do exactly the same thing here:
4/10 = 6/x
60 = 4x
15 = x
That was pretty simple, too! Keep going!
6/15 = x/25
15x = 150
x = 10
All of these should be equal, so check them by dividing:
2/5 = 0.4
4/10 = 0.4
6/15 = 0.4
10/25 = 0.4
They all check out, so these are your answers: 2/5, 4/10, 6/15, 10/25
I really hope this helps you =)
Simply get the value of the angle and distribute away.
First off we have x number of students in the robotics club, 12 more in the Science club, and 84 students in total. This means:
Robotics Club = x
Science Club = (x + 12)
Total = 84
Okay, so here's the equation:
x + (x + 12) = 84 ~ Add like terms.
2x + 12 = 84 ~ Subtract 12 by both sides.
2x = 72 ~ Divide both sides by 2.
x = 36 ~ Meaning that the Robotics Club has 36 members.
At this point you can do: 84 - 36 = 48 which gives you the number of members in the Science Club, though...:
36 + (36 + 12) = 84 ~ Add the two in the parenthesis to get your answer.
36 + 48 = 84 ~ 48 is the number of Students in the Science Club.
84 = 84
In conclusion: The Science Club has 48 students.
Hope that helps. ^ ^
