Answer:

16/15

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the equation;

a−3b/a+b = 3/4

We are required to determine the ratio a+b/a

It will be easier to first determine the value of a/b

  • Using cross multiplication;

a−3b/a+b = 3/4  becomes,

4(a-3b) = 3(a+b)

4a - 12b = 3a + 3b

  • Combining the like terms;

4a - 3a = 3b + 12b

a = 15 b

Thus, a/b = 15/1

Taking a = 15 and b = 1

Then,

a+b/a = (15 + 1)/15

         = 16/15

Therefore, the ratio a+b/a is 16/15

Thomas has $6.35 in dimes and quarters. The number of dimes is three more than three times the number of quarters. How many quar
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

He has 11 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study the information in the problem to solve it

- The value of dimes and quarters is $6.35

- There are dimes and quarters

- The dime = 10 cents

- The quarter = 25 cents

* We must change the money from dollars to cents

∵ $1 = 100 cents

∴ $6.35 = 6.35 × 100 = 635 cents

- The number of dimes = 3 + 3 × number of quarters

* Let number of dimes is D and number of quarter is Q

∴ D = 3 + 3Q

∴ 10D + 25Q = 635

* Substitute the value of D from first equation in the second equation

∴ 10(3 + 3Q) + 25Q = 635 ⇒ open the bracket

∴ 10(3) + 10(3Q) + 25Q = 635

∴ 30 + 30Q + 25Q = 635 ⇒ collect like terms

∴ 30 + 55Q = 635 ⇒ subtract 30 from both sides

∴ 55Q = 605 ⇒ divide both sides by 55

∴ Q = 11

* He has 11 quarters

Express each number in scientific notitatio 43,000= 0.0072= 0.0000901=
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

43,000: 4.3×10^4

0.0072: 7.2×10^-3

0.0000901: 9.01×10^-5

Step-by-step explanation:

scientific notation: a×10^b, where should be 0<a<10

Step 1. Count the zeros

Step 2. Look at the number left, and determine whether or not it fits in the range of [a]. If not, we divide or multiply 10 to get it fit

------------------------

43,000: 4.3×10^4 (since 43 does not fit, we divide by 10 to get it fit)

0.0072: 7.2×10^-3 (since 0.72 does not fit, we multiply 10 to get it fit)

0.0000901: 9.01×10^-5 (since 0.901 does not fit, we multiply 10 to get it fit)

Hope this helps!! :)
