At the candy store there are 420 gumdrops and 280 chocolate bars, for a total of 700 candies all together. What is the ratio of

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

5 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of gumdrops = 420

Number of chocolate bars = 280

Total Number of candies = 700

To find:

The ratio of candies to chocolate bars = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us discuss the method to find the ratio of any two quantities.

Suppose, we need to find the ratio of two numbers $p$ and $q$ .

Then to find the ratio $p:q$ , we need to divide p by q and represent it in the simplest form $\frac{a}{b}$ such that a and b can not be divided further.

Here, to find the ratio of candies to chocolate bar:

$Ratio = \dfrac{\text{Number of candies}}{\text{Number of chocolate bars}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{700}{280}$

Here, we can simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 10 first:

$\dfrac{70}{28}$

Now, let us divide the numerator and denominator by 14:

$\dfrac{5}{2}$

So, the ratio is 5 : 2

A number x divided by -1 is at least -4

Vinil7 [7]

A number x divided by -1 is at least -4.

x / -1 ≥ -4

Multiply both sides by -1.

x ≤ 4

Remember, when multiplying or dividing by a negative, you must change the sign's direction.

Lesechka [4]

Answer: Mean = 3.5 , median = 2.5, mode = 2, geometric mean = 2.74

Median is the most appropriate measure of central tendency.

The least appropriate = mean

Yes there is an outlier.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given responses : 5, 4, 2, 1, 1, 2, 10, 2, 3, 5.

First arrange them in increasing order, $\sqrt[10]{1\times1\times2\times2\times2\times3\times4\times5\times5\times10 }\\\\=\sqrt[10]{24000} \approx2.74$
