Answer: No, perry is not using the correct ratio.

Step-by-step explanation: The ratio used in the cafeteria is 15:17 if we calculate the quotient of these numbers, we have:

15/17 = 0.882

Now, the ratio that Perry is using is 5:7, the quotient now is:

5/7 = 0.713

You can see that the quotients are different, which means that the ratios are different.

Here we are dividing the number of cups of swiss cheese by the number of cups of cheddar cheese.

The fact that in the perry recipe the quotient is smaller, this means that in this recipe the swiss cheese has less presence than in the cafeteria recipe.

If you want to reduce the proportions, it is kinda hard because 17 is a prime number, so you won't have a whole number of cups of cheddar cheese.

so 15/3 = 5, this means that we also must divide 17 by 3.

Then, the correct ratio would be:

5:17/3

or 5:5.666

No, Perry is not using the correct ratio, because 15:17 is not equivalent to 5:7

15 divided by 3 is indeed 5 but divided 17 by 3 does not give you 7, nor a whole number.



I hope this helps.

Two friends are collecting stuffed animals. Veronica has 5 more than double the number of stutted
STatiana [176]

v + m = 32 and v = 5 + 2m are the equations that are used  to determine m, the number of stuffed animals Mariposa has

Number of stuffed animals Mariposa has is 9 and number of stuffed animals with Veronica is 23

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Let "v" be the number of stuffed animals with Veronica

Let "m" be the number of stuffed animals with Mariposa

Given that,

Together, they have 32 stuffed animals

Therefore,

v + m = 32  --------- eqn 1

Veronica has 5 more than double the number of stutted  animals as her friend Mariposa

Therefore,

Number of stuffed animals with Veronica = 5 + 2(number of stuffed animals with Mariposa)

v = 5 + 2m ---------- eqn 2

Thus eqn 1 and eqn 2 can be used to determine m, the number of stuffed animals Mariposa has

Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2

Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1

5 + 2m + m = 32

5 + 3m = 32

3m = 32 - 5

3m = 27

<h3>m = 9</h3>

Substitute m = 9 in eqn 2

v = 5 + 2(9)

v = 5 + 18

<h3>v = 23</h3>

Thus number of stuffed animals Mariposa has is 9 and number of stuffed animals with Veronica is 23

Convert 25 1/3% to decimal. Round to the nearest thousandth if necessary.

Decimal: 25.3333, but converted properly it is
.253333....(repeating) so to the nearest thousands it would be .253

Which of the following sets could be the sides of a right triangle?
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

None of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

None of the answer choices are even triangles, let alone right triangles. The sum of the two smaller sides isn't larger than the bigger side on any of the triangles, which means that they cannot be closed.

Welcome to Brainly!

Binomial Theorem will follow this pattern:
The powers start at 3 and decrease down to 0 for the first term,
and start at 0 and increase to 3 for the other term.

(2x+4)^3 =

\rm \_\_(2x)^34^0+\_\_(2x)^24^1+\_\_(2x)^14^2+\_\_(2x)^04^3

See how the power counts down on the (2x)
and counts up on the 4?
That's the pattern that our expansion must follow.

I left a little space in front of each term.
The coefficient in front of each term will come from the fourth row of Pascal's Triangle. The one that looks like this:

1 3 3 1

Those are the coefficients we want:

\rm 1(2x)^34^0+3(2x)^24^1+3(2x)^14^2+1(2x)^04^3

We can clean this up a little bit by getting rid of some of the junk. Anything to the 0th power is 1. So let's suppress all of our 1's because multiplying by 1 is not important.

\rm (2x)^3+3(2x)^24+3(2x)4^2+4^3

Now apply exponent rule, distributing the power to both the 2 and the x where applicable.

\rm 2^3x^3+3\cdot2^2x^24+3\cdot2x4^2+4^3

Remember, multiplication is COMMUTATIVE, meaning we can multiply things in any order. So let's bring the numerical portion to the front of each term and multiply it all out.

\rm 2^3x^3+3\cdot2^2\cdot4x^2+3\cdot2\cdot4^2x+4^3
\rm 8x^3+48x^2+96x+64
