A ratio reads left to right and can be written in 3 different ways. for example, 3:5, 3 to 5, or 3/5
if you have a problem that says something like: for every 3 people there is 1 child, the ratio is 3 to 1. Hope this was helpful in in 6th grade too and in advanced math!
Answer:
a. −5x−1
b. 11x−1
Step-by-step explanation:
P(both red)=(10/17)(9/16)
P(both blue)=(7/17)(6/16)
P(both same)= sum of above 2 = (90+42)/(16*17)=132/(16*17)=<span>0.485
coz both same means both blue or both red

First off, let's convert the percentages to decimal format, so our 77% turns to 77/100 or 0.77, and our 55% turns to 55/100 or 0.55 and so on
now, the sum of both salines, must add up to the 77% mixture, let's say is "y"
so, 11 + 4 = y, and whatever the concentration level is, must also sum up to the mixture's concentration of 77%
anyway thus

solve for "x"
Answer:
19 birds
Step-by-step explanation:
First, I wrote my two equations:
5.5x +8.5y = 291.5
x + y = 41
Next, I got the variable y by itself in the second equation. Subtract x to get y = -x + 41. Then, I substituted what y equaled into the first equation. It should look like this: 5.5x + 8.5(-x+41) = 291.5. Distribute 8.5 to get 5.5x -8.5x + 348.5 = 291.5. Subtract 5.5x and 8.5x to get -3x. It should look like this: -3x + 348.5= 291.5. Subtract 348.5 from 291.5 to get -57. Now, you should have -3x = -57. Divide -3 from both sides, to get x = 19. So, there are 19 birds. If you want to go even further, 41-19= 22, which means there are 22 cats. Hope this helped!
