Let your monthly data use be represented by X
Then:
- Your sister's use is 1/2X (half of your usage)
- Your father's use is 2X (twice as much as you)
- Your mother's use is 4X (four times as much as you)

The total amount of GB use in your family can therefore be represented by
\frac{1}{2} x + x + 2x + 4x = 7 \frac{1}{2} x
This total GB use equals the limit of 6GB per month, so
7 \frac{1}{2}x = 6
Divide by 7.5
x = 0.8

Hence, you use 0.8 GB per month
- Your sister's use is 1/2 * 0.8 = 0.4GB (half of your usage)
- Your father's use is 2 * 0.8 = 1.6GB (twice as much as you)
- Your mother's use is 4 * 0.8 = 3.2GB (four times as much as you)

A recipe calls for 2 1/2 tablespoons of oil and 3/4 tablespoons of vinegar. What is the ratio of oil to vinegar in this recipe?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

10:3

Step-by-step explanation:

Make 2 1/2 an improper fraction, you will get 5/2. You dont have to do anything to the 3/4.

For you to find the ratio of an fraction, you have to take the numerator but the denominator has to be the same.

So make 5/2 to a 10/4.

Take the numerator 10 & 3.

Your answer will be 10:3

No problem.

Sarah and her three friends are decorating picture frames with ribbon. They have 3 rolls of ribbon to share evenly. How does thi
Blizzard [7]
Let's see here. Sarah is one person. Her three friends are three more. That means 4 people are decorating picture frames. However, we only have 3 rolls of ribbon! We can give an entire roll to each person, but one person would have no roll to decorate with! What do we do? We have to divide this. By definition, divide means to separate something(in this case, ribbon rolls) into (equal) parts. So, we must divide them so everyone gets an EQUAL ribbon roll length.

An airplane at 30,100 feet above the ground begins descending at the rate of 2150 feet per minute. Write and solve a linear equa
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

30100-2150x and it would take 14 minutes to reach the ground.

Step-by-step explanation:

30100 feet is out starting y coordinate, and since 2150 is always changing depending on the amount of time we multiple it by x (the amount of minutes) therefor we can create the equation 30100-2150x and when we plus in 14 the equation would equal 0
