Answer:

  • 12 and 3

Explanation:

Let the integers be x and y

Their sum:

  • x + y = 15

<u>rewrite</u>

  • x = 15 - y

Their product:

  • (x)(y) = 36

<u>rewrite</u>

  • x = 36/y

Solving simultaneously:

  • 36/y = 15 - y
  • 36 = 15y - y²
  • y² - 15y + 36 = 0
  • (y - 12)(y - 3) = 0
  • y = 12, 3

X values:

  • when x = 12, y = 3
  • when x = 3, y = 12

The integers are 12 and 3

Jayden has been reading a 275275275-page book for english class. on average, he has read about 101010 pages in 151515 minutes (\

   OK. Lots of copying errors here. I'll be using 275 page book, reading 10 pages per 15 minutes, skimming 15 pages per 10 minutes, 5 hours and 50 minutes to complete the book.
   To make things easier, first convert the time to just minutes. So 5 * 60 + 50 = 300 + 50 = 350 minutes.

   Now let's use the variable X for the number of minutes spent skimming and (350-X) for the number of minutes spent reading.
 X * 15/10 + (350 - X)*10/15 = 275

   Solve for X.
 X * 15/10 + (350 - X)*10/15 = 275
 X * 15/10 + 350*10/15 - X*10/15 = 275
 X * 15/10 - X*10/15 = 275 - 350*10/15
X(15/10 - 10/15) = 275 - 3500/15
 X(45/30 - 20/30) = 825/3 - 700/3
 X(25/30) = 125/3
 X = 125/3 * 30/25 = 125/1 * 10/25 = 5/1 * 10/1 = 50/1 = 50
   So Jayden spent 50 minutes skimming. And at the rate of 15 pages every 10 minutes, he skimmed 50*15/10 = 750/10 = 75 pages.</span>

expeople1 [14]

no. of boys : no.of girls

100 : 140

to get the simplest ratio you gotta divide both with a common factor

Because both 100 and 140 share a common factor of 20

the simplest ratio will be

100/20 : 140/20

5:7

5:7 is the simplest ratio

Not 100 %  but I would think as likely as not because you have the same amount of both.  1/2 the chance
