Just simple proportions:
12(apples) x(apples)
-------------- = --------------
4(oranges) 7(oranges)
12*7 = 84
84/4 = 21
There are 21 apples + 7 oranges = 28 apples and oranges!
Answer:
Hello,
If 7/10 boys represent 28 boys so, 3/10 girls ? how many girls ?
cross product
7/10 > 28
3/10 > ?
3/10*28/(7/10)=12
There are 12 girls
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets write the problem info into an equation and solve step by step:
7(1/3 + 4/5)
the minimum common multiple of 3 and 5 is 15, so we multiply and divide the fractions by a proper number to convert them to be divided by 15 so is easier to add them:
<span>(1/3)(5/5) = (1*5)/(3*5) = 5/15
(4/5)(3/3) = (4*3)/(5*3) = 12/15
</span>so we substitute in the original equation:
7(1/3 + 4/5<span>)
</span>= 7(5/15 + 12/15<span>)
= 7(17/15)
= (7*17)/15
= 119/15</span>
Slope-Intercept form - y = 4
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
move all terms to the left:
-1.5x+12-(2.5x-12)=0
get rid of parentheses
-1.5x-2.5x+12+12=0
add all the numbers together, and all the variable.
-4x+24=0
move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right
-4x=-24
x=-24/-4 - divide
x=+6
