The answer to this expression is 2
Step-by-step explanation:
For example:
Ex: 2:3 :: 6:9
In this question, the means are 3 and 6.
The extremes are 2 and 9.
We use this method to find whether the two ratios are equal or not.
We multiply the means and the extremes, and if there products are same, then these two ratios are proportional.
If these two ratios are proportional, their "means" = "extremes"
=> Means = Extremes
=> 3 x 6 = 2 x 9
=> 18 = 18
So, these two ratios are proportional.
Hope this helps you.
Answer:
8.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Normally, to find the distance between two points, you would use the distance formula, but these two points have the same x-coordinate, meaning they will form a vertical line when connected. To find the length of a vertical line you find the distance between the y-coordinates, in this case -4.7 and 4.1. Finding the distance is the same as finding the absolute value of the difference:
|4.1 -(-4.7)|
|4.1 + 4.7|
|8.8|
8.8
Answer:
19 birds
Step-by-step explanation:
First, I wrote my two equations:
5.5x +8.5y = 291.5
x + y = 41
Next, I got the variable y by itself in the second equation. Subtract x to get y = -x + 41. Then, I substituted what y equaled into the first equation. It should look like this: 5.5x + 8.5(-x+41) = 291.5. Distribute 8.5 to get 5.5x -8.5x + 348.5 = 291.5. Subtract 5.5x and 8.5x to get -3x. It should look like this: -3x + 348.5= 291.5. Subtract 348.5 from 291.5 to get -57. Now, you should have -3x = -57. Divide -3 from both sides, to get x = 19. So, there are 19 birds. If you want to go even further, 41-19= 22, which means there are 22 cats. Hope this helped!
