X : 14= 7: 8 can someone solve this for me and explain me

Mathematics
1 answer:
Vanyuwa [196]3 years ago
6 0

x:14 = 7:8

x:14 = x/14

7:8 = 7/8

x/14 = 7/8

Multiply the numerator of the 1st ratio with the denominator of the 2nd.

And multiply the numerator of the 2nd ratio with the denominator of the 1st.

Doing so, we get -

x * 8 = 7 * 14

So, 8x = 7 * 14

8x = 98

We divide 98 by 8 (transposition method)

x = 98/8

Therefore, x = 12.25

If 100% of a number is 15, what is 50% of the number?
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Let n be the number

100% of a number is 15 is written as: 100% × n = 15

100% = 100 / 100 = 1

Hence

100% × n = n = 15

We now need to find 50% of the number

50% of 15 = (50 / 100) × 15 = 750 / 100 = 7.5

Exponential Growth and Decay The expressions below represent either exponential growth or exponential decay. Check all the expre
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

First one: 5x3(0.75)2t

and fourth one: 0.05x500(0.005)t

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to have an exponencial decay, the rate of the exponencial function needs to be lesser than 1.

The rate is the value between parenthesis, so in the first equation, the rate is 0.75, so this is an exponencial decay.

The second equation has rate = 2.4, so this is not an exponencial decay.

The third equation has rate = 1.04, so this is not an exponencial decay.

The fourth equation has rate = 0.005, so this is an exponencial decay.

Let A = Aaron's age today and M = Maria's age today.
kondor19780726 [428]

Aaron is 4 years and Maria is 14 years old.

A = Aaron's age today

M = Maria's age today.

a. The equation based on the statement given will be:

M = A + 10

b. Maria's age based on the statement in 6 years will be:

= (A + 10) + 6

= A + 16

c. Based on the information above, the equation to solve their ages will be:

A + 16 = 2(A + 6)

A + 16 = 2A + 12

Collect like terms

2A - A = 16 - 12

A = 4

Therefore, Aaron is 4 and Maria is 14 years.
