W = white keys
b = black keys
w + b = 88
We know the number of black keys, it is 36
w + 36 = 88
w + 36 - 36 = 88 - 36
w = 52
So, the number of white keys is 52.
Now, we can write the ratio.
It would be :
b : w
36 : 52
Let's simplify . . .
They are both divisible by 4:
36/4 : 52/4
Simplifies to . . .
9 : 13
So, the ratio is 9 black keys: 13 white keys.
Final Answer: 9 black keys : 13 white keys
*I looked to see if this was actually true on a real piano, and it was!
Answer:6+3w
Step-by-step explanation:
So, our number is "W"
SO, 6 more than three times w is
6+3w
Three times w=3w
Then, it says 6 more, so we add 6
Your answer would be a. 22.
This is because the question is basically asking you to substitute in 5 where there is an x in the equation, which gives us:
((3 × 5) + 4) - (2 - 5) = (15 + 4) - (-3) = 19 - -3 = 22.
I hope this helps!
