The number of sea stars is 64.

What is a ratio?

Comparing two amounts of the same units and determining the ratio tells us how much of one quantity is in the other.

In general, a: b, which can be interpreted as "a is to b," is used to denote a ratio between two quantities, let's say "a" and "b."

This ratio is expressed in fraction form as a/b. We utilize the same method for further simplifying a ratio as we use for further simplifying a fraction.

According to the question,

Ratio of sea stars to wolf eels = 4:5

Number of rock fish= 5/8 (Number of sea stars)

Number of wolf eels - Number of rock fish = 40

Using the given information, we get,

Number of sea stars = 8/5 (Number of rock fish)

On simplification,

Number of wolf eels = 80

So, number of sea stars = (4/5)*80

                                          = 64

The ratio of two numbers is 7 to 5. The sum of the numbers is 24. What are the numbers?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

14 and 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the 2 numbers = 7x : 5x

The sum of the 2 numbers is 24, hence

7x + 5x = 24

12x = 24 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x = 2

7x = 7 × 2 = 14

5x = 5 × 2 = 10

Thus the numbers are 14 and 10

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

100

Step-by-step explanation:

In economics, for a firm to earn optimum profits, it is important that it achieves a long run equilibrium. We can transfer the same to the case here that for the club to achieve optimum attendance, it must achieve long- run equilibrium attendance.

The condition for Long Run Equilibrium is that:

Club meeting attendance this week = Club meeting attendance next week

X = 80 + 0.20X

X - 0.20X = 80

X = 80/0.8

X = 100.

The long- run equilibrium attendance for this club is 100.
