Answer:
See answers below
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following ratios. We are to express them in their simplest forms
15:12
= 15/12
= (3*5)/(3*4)
= 3/3 * 5/4
= 5/4
b) 42:1
= 42/1
= 42
Given that 2:x :: 4:6
2/x = 4/6
Cross multiply
4x = 2*6
4x = 12
x = 12/4
x = 3
Hence the value of x is 3
Answer: The blue whale's weight is 150 times heavier than the narwhal's weight.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Weight of Blue whale = 
Weight of Narwhal = 
Number of times blue whale's weight is heavier than the narwhal's weight = 
![=\dfrac{3\times10^5}{2\times10^3}\\\\=1.5\times10^{5-3}\ \ \ [\dfrac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}]\\\\=1.5\times10^2\\\\=1.5\times100=150](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cdfrac%7B3%5Ctimes10%5E5%7D%7B2%5Ctimes10%5E3%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D1.5%5Ctimes10%5E%7B5-3%7D%5C%20%5C%20%5C%20%5B%5Cdfrac%7Ba%5Em%7D%7Ba%5En%7D%3Da%5E%7Bm-n%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D1.5%5Ctimes10%5E2%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D1.5%5Ctimes100%3D150)
Hence, the blue whale's weight is 150 times heavier than the narwhal's weight.
Presuming the question is "How many points did he miss", you would find the solution by multiplying the amount of possible points by the test score as a fraction. 96% is the fraction

. Therefore, you get the equation

. This is equal to 72, so he missed 3 points, or 75-72 points.
He missed 3 points.
Answer:
So the correct answer is"none of the above".
Step-by-step explanation:
z+(z+6)=z+z+6=2z+6. \\ \\ (z+z)+(z+6)=z+z+z+6=3z+6. \\ \\ (z+6)+6=z+12 \\ \\
Answer:
