Hiya!

So, 6 billion is 100%. 50% is 3 billion. 25% is 1.5 billion. 20% must be 1.2 billion because 1.2 × 5 is 6. I know that 20% is 1/5 of 100%, and that's how I got my answer.

If you found this especially helpful, I'd appreciate if you'd vote me Brainliest for your answer, if other people did not provide a helpful answer (but, I'm sure they did!). I want to be able to assist more users one-on-one! :)

The sum of two numbers is 35.
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

Larger number(x)=20

Step-by-step explanation:

They're saying that the larger number 3 times is EQUAL(the same) to 4 times the smaller number.

The smallest number=35-x.

The larger number= x.

3 times the larger number=3x

4 times the smaller number=4(35-x)

Now, input it into an equation and solve:

3x=4(35-x) Distribute by multiplying 4 with 35 and x.

3x+4x=140-4x+4x Get 140 by itself by adding 4x.

7x/7=140/7 Divide.

x=20

Since x= the larger number, x=20.

You are downloading songs to your mp3 player the ratio of pop songs to rock songs is 5 to 4 you download 40 pop songs how many r
dmitriy555 [2]
The ratio of pop songs to rock songs you download is 5:4, and 40 are pop songs. You want to find out how many rock songs there are.
First, add the ratios together: 5+4=9. This means that 9 will be your denominator, so 5/9 songs are pop and 4/9 songs are rock.
Now you know that pop songs account for 5/9 of the songs, this means that 40 is 5/9 of the total songs. 
To find out how much 4/9 is, you need to divide 40 by 5 to get 1/9 and times that number by 4 to get 4/9:
40÷5=8×4=32 songs are rock songs

Which expression is equivalent to (x^2 -8) - (-2x^2+4)?​
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

D) 3x^2 - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Using PEMDAS;

There is no need to evaluate the part of the equation (x^2 - 8) because is no need to, as it is already in its simplest form.

We must evaluate the part of the equation continuing with, "- (-2x^2+4)," as it is not in its simplest form.

Evaluating "- (-2x^2+4)":

Step 1: Distributing the negative

Once distributing the negative symbol amongst the values within the parenthesis according to PEMDAS, we get "2x^2 - 4" as the product.

Step 2: Consider the rest of the equation to evaluate

Since the part of the equation is still in play here as it is a part of the original equation to be solved, we must evaluate it as a whole to get the final answer.

Thus,

x^2 -8 + 2x^2 - 4 = ___

*we can remove the parenthesis as it has no purpose, since it makes no difference.

Evaluating for the answer, we get,

x^2+2x^2 + (-8 - 4) = 3x^2 - 12

Hence, the answer is D) 3x^2 - 12.
