In a jewelry store, rings make up 5/9 of the inventory. Earrings make up 4/15 of the inventory. How many times greater is the ri
ng inventory than the earring inventory?
1 answer:
Make the fractions have common denominators.
rings 5 / 9 * 5/5 = 25/45
earrings 5/15 * 3/3 = 15/45
So, now we can compare 25 to 15. 25 is 5/3 bigger than 15.
or the ring inventory is 1.666666666... times greater than the earring inventory.

D=rt
So you're going to plug in the values listed: r= 9 1/2 and t=1 3/4
This will give you:
d=(9.5)(1.75)
Then you solve:
d=16.625
You should probably convert that decimal answer into a fraction since you're question gave it to you as a fraction.

Answer: 2.5
Step-by-step explanation:
y = rx
substitute numbers in and solve for r
if
y = 10
x = 4
then
10 = r4
r = 10/4 = 2.5
this works for all the other numbers and always gives r = 2.5
Answer:
its c. 1/4
