Let the number of rows be x
rows = x
seats in each row = x + 20
total seats = 1344
x (x + 20) = 1344
x^2 + 20x - 1344 = 0
(x + 48)(x - 28) = 0
x = -48 (rejected, answer cannot be negative) or x = 28
Therefore,
x = 28
x + 20 = 48
Check:
Row = 28
Numbers of seat per row = 28 + 20 = 48
28 x 48 = 1344 (Correct)
Ans:There are 48 seats per row
The correct answer would be D, because there’s no other leading common factors between the two besides one.
AnsweTo see if multiple ratios are proportional, you could write them as fractions, reduce them, and compare them. If the reduced fractions are all the same, then you have proportional ratios.r:
Step-by-step explanation:
X*y=72
x = 5y-2
x=72/y
72/y=5y-2
72=5y^2-2y
5y^2 -2y - 72 = 0
(5y+18)(y-4)=0
y = -18/5 discard
or y = 4
4x=72
x=18
(18,4)
Answer:
1. 4
Step-by-step explanation:
For question 1, you need to know the ratio between the recipe and the amount in question.
So if in the recipe, it says it uses 3/4 cup of diced ham, and the question uses 1 cup of diced ham, you can divide 1 by 3/4 to get 4/3. This is how many times bigger the amount used in the question than the recipe.
Then it asks for how many cups of potatoes, to do this, you look at the recipe and how many potatoes it uses: 3.5 cups
To solve it then, you just do 3.5 x 4/3 to get 4
cups of potatoes
There's your answer.
