<h3>Hello there!</h3>
The first thing we need to do here is see which information is relevant.
The question is asking for the ratio of books to pencils.
Therefore, we only need the number of books and pencils - all other information given is irrelevant in this scenario.
Number of books - 4
Number of pencils - 7
Now, we can order this as a ratio.
A ratio is two numbers put as a proportion. It's normally written out as first number : second number.
In this case, it's the ratio of number of books : number of pencils.
Fill in the number of books and number of pencils into each side of the equation.
number of books : number of pencils
4 books : 7 pencils (the unit is normally dropped)
So therefore, 4:7 would be your final answer.
Hope this helped!
The answer for this problem is 1661
16. 5x^3 y^-5 • 4xy^3
20x^4y^-2
20x^4 • 1/y^2
=20x^4/y^2
17. -2b^3c • 4b^2c^2
= -8b^5c^3
18. a^3n^7 / an^4 (a^3 minus a = a^2 same as n^7 minus n^4 = n^3)
=a^2n^3
19. -yz^5 / y^2z^3
= -z^2/y
20. -7x^5y^5z^4 / 21x^7y^5z^2 (divide -7 to 21 and minus xyz)
= -z / 3x^2
21. 9a^7b^5x^5 / 18a^5b^9c^3
=a^2c^2 / 2b^4
22. (n^5)^4
n ^5 x 4
=n^20
23. (z^3)^6
z ^3 x 6
=z^18
Answer:
The constant of proportionality is the ratio between two directly proportional quantities. In our tomato example, that ratio is $3.00/2, which equals $1.50. Two quantities are directly proportional when they increase and decrease at the same rate.

Answer: Around 96 people would prefer creamy peanut butter.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the survey was found that 4 out of 5 preferred creamy over chunky peanut butter.
Then the relative frequency is:
4/5 = 0.8 prefer creamy peanut butter.
And we can assume that:
1/5 = 0.2 prefer chunky peanut butter.
We also could multiply these numbers by 100% to obtain the percentage forms:
0.8*100% = 80%
0.2*100% = 20%
Now, if there are 120 people in the grocery store, we can expect that the 80% will prefer creamy peanut butter.
Then we can expect that the number of people that prefers creamy peanut butter is:
N = (80%/100%)*120 = 0.8*120 = 96
Around 96 people would prefer creamy peanut butter.
