Answer:

There are 16 Oak tree in the forest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: There are 4 Oak tree on every 10 pine trees.

           There are total 24 more pine tree than Oak tree.

 Using the ratio of trees to find the number of trees.

Lets assume there are total number of Oak tree be "x".

∴ Total number of Pine trees will be "x+24"

We know the ratio of Oak to Pine tree is 4:10 or \frac{4}{10}

⇒\frac{x}{x+24} = \frac{4}{10}

Multiplying both side by x+24

⇒ x= \frac{4(x+24)}{10}

Using distributive property of multiplication, distributing 4 with x and 24.

⇒ x= \frac{4x+96}{10}

Multiplying both side by 10

⇒ 10x= 4x+96

subtracting both side by 4x

⇒ 6x= 96

dividing both side by 6

⇒x= \frac{96}{6}

∴ x= 16

Hence, There are 16 Oak trees in the forest.

The ratio of students in Class X to Class Y is 2 : 5. There are 24 more students in Class Y than Class X. How many students must
Natalka [10]

Answer: 12 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X and Y stand for the number of students in each respective class.

We know:

X/Y = 2/5, and

Y = X+24

We want to find the number of students, x, that when transferred from Y to X, will make the classes equal in size. We can express this as:

(Y-x)/(X+x) = 1

---

We can rearrange X/Y = 2/5 to:

X = 2Y/5

The use this value of X in the second equation:

Y = X+24

Y =2Y/5+24

5Y = 2Y + 120

3Y = 120

Y = 40

Since Y = X+24

40 = X + 24

X = 16

--

Now we want x, the number of students transferring from Class Y to Class X, to be a value such that X = Y:

(Y-x)=(X+x)

(40-x)=(16+x)

24 = 2x

x = 12

12 students must transfer to the more difficult, very early morning, class.

Of the 240 sandwiches Joanna makes 20% are tuna sandwiches and 40% are jam sandwiches, and the rest are egg salad sandwiches.How
nikitadnepr [17]
240 = 100%
so 10% = 24 sandwiches 
all - (tuna) - (jam) = egg
100% - 20% - 40% = 40%
40% = 10%*4
40% = 24*4 = 96

the answer is 96 egg salad sandwiches
