In this question there is a small trick that needs to be understood. Basically the ratio in the question is given as a decimal. It can be expressed as a ratio as well.
Ratio of students that voted for winner to the total number of voters = 95:100
The total number of students that voted = 60
Let us assume the common ratio to be = x
then
100x = 60
x = 60/100
= 0.6
Then
The number of votes that the winner got = 95 * 0.6
= 57
So 57 students voted for the winning candidate.
The custodian will be able to repaint 4 6/7 bookcases with 1 4/7 gallons of paint because you have to divide the fractions 1 4/7 and 1/3. 1 4/7 divided by 1/3. You’d turn 1 4/7 into a mixed fraction, change the division sign to a multiplication sign, and flip 1/3. Now the equation is 11/7 • 3/1. Multiply 11 and 3 which equals 33 then multiply 7 and 1 which equals 7. The fraction you get should be 33/7 and then you simplify it and it becomes 4 6/7 which is the answer.
Answer:
one pound of apple cost $2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the amount they both spent at the grocery store be y and x be the price of apples per pound.
Since Tara bought 5 pounds of apples, 5x = y (1) and Ashley bought 3 pounds of apples and $5 worth other groceries, 3x + 5 = y (2).
Equating both expressions, 5x = 3x + 5
collecting like terms,
5x - 3x = 5
2x = 5
dividing both sides by 2, we have
x = 5/2
x = 2.5
So one pound of apple cost $2.5
Answers:
Center = (4, 7)
Radius = 7
===========================================================
Explanation:
The general template of any circle is
(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2
This general circle has these properties:
Based on the equation your teacher gave you, we see that
- h = 4
- k = 7
- r = 7, since 7^2 = 7*7 = 49
Therefore, this circle has center = (4,7) and radius = 7
Side note: The center's y coordinate and radius aren't always the same value.
