Ratios are fractions. Equivalent means equal, if you change one set of numbers, you have to change the second set of numbers so then that Ratio or Equivalent fraction stays equal on both sides.

A law firm is going to designate associates and partners to a big new case. The daily rate charged to the client for each associ

Ronch [10]

Answer:

The system of equations representing the situation are

$600a+1200p = 15,000$

$a+p = 16$

with solutions

$p =9$

$a = 7$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us call $a$ the number of associates and $p$ the number of partners. If each associate costs $600 and each partner costs $1200, and it cost the law firm a total of $15,000, then we have

$600a+1200p = 15,000$ .

Since the law firm assigned at total of 16 lawyers, we have

$a+p = 16$ .

Thus, the system of equations representing the situation are

$600a+1200p = 15,000$

$a+p = 16$

And the solution to this system is found by solving for $a$ in the second equation and substituting its value in the first equation:

$a = 16-p$

$600(16-p)+1200p = 15,000$

$9600-600p+1200p=15,000$

$9600+600p=15,000$

$600p=5400$

$\boxed{ p=9}$

We put this value into $a+p = 16$ and solve for $a:$

$a+9=16$

$\boxed{a = 7}$

Answer:

The other two angles are 75° and 125°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let three angles are 2x, 3x and 5x.

The smallest angle is 50.

It means,

2x = 50

x = 25

So,

3x = 3(25) = 75°

5x = 5(25) = 125°

So, the other two angles are 75° and 125°.
