Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio compares two quantities in terms of multiplication. For example, suppose that there are 10 boys and 15 girls in a classroom. One way, not using ratios, to compare these quantities would be to say that there are 5 more girls than boys in the classroom. To employ a ratio, we say that the ratio of boys to girls is 10 to 15, or 2 to 3. In other words, for every 2 boys in the classroom, there are 3 girls.


In your case, for every 40 boys, there are 20 girls. if we simplify this all the way down, we can get 2 to 1.

All of the following are ratios that apply to your question:

40 to 20

20 to 10

10 to 5

4 to 2

2 to 1

mario collected 3g seashells. jasmine collected 10 more seashells that mario. write the number of seashells they collected toget
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Total seashells = (6g + 10) seashells.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Mario collected 3g seashells.

Given that Jasmine collected 10 more seashells that mario. It means she collected (3g+10) seashells.

It says to write the number of seashells they collected together in terms of g.

Total seashells = Mario's seashells + Jasmine's seashells.

Total seashells = 3g + (3g+10).

Total seashells = 6g + 10.

Hence, Total seashells = (6g + 10) seashells.

2.5 kg of potatoes cost £1.40<br> Work out the cost of 4.25 kg of potatoes.<br> 5.95
kvasek [131]

Answer:

£2.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios:

 £1.40       2.5 kg

----------- = ------------

     c          4.25 kg

Cross multiplying, we get:

(£1.40)(4.25 kg) = (2.5 kg*c), or

       (£1.40)(4.25 kg)

c = -------------------------- =  £2.38

             2.5 kg
