The sum of two positive numbers is 5 times their difference. What is the ratio of the larger number to the smaller number?

1 answer:

4 0

Let the two numbers be x and y

x + y = 5(x-y)
x + y = 5x -5y
6y = 4x
x= (6/4)y
x= (3/2)y

there the ratio is 3/2

Answer:

1/8, 0.35, 0.39, 5/7, 9/10

Step-by-step explanation:

1/8 = 0.125

5/7 = 0.714

0.350

0.390

9/10 = 0.900

now let's order them from least to greatest:

0.125 , 0.350 , 0.390 , 0.714 , 0.900

= 1/8, 0.35, 0.39, 5/7, 9/10

if you have trouble with these types of problems change them all into decimals which will make things easier!

Unit rates is the rate of a quantity in comparison to 1 i.e. unit.

Based on the given parameters, Shanya is the fastest typist

From the question, the unit rates are given as:

The unit rates of Tristan and Ebony are not given.

So, we compare the rates of James and Shanya

3 words in a second is greater than 0.5 words in a second.

Hence, Shanya is the fastest typist
