Let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to "improper" and then proceed,
Answer:
c=3
Step-by-step explanation:
4c+12-2c=5c-3 1. combine like terms
2c+12=5c-3 2. -5c on both sides
-3c+12=3 3. -12 on both sides
-3c=-9 4. /-3 on both sides
c=3
Pick any number. Multiply the 7 and the 11 both by it,
and you'll have an equivalent ratio.
Examples:
(by 2) . . . 14 to 22
(by 6) . . . 42 to 66
(by 10). . . 70 to 110
(by a million) . . . 7 million to 11 million
Answer:
15/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Let "d" be the total distance, that is, the distance for swimming (s), running (r) and going by bike (b).
d = s + r + b [1]
1/24 of the total distance is covered by swimming.
s = 1/24 d [2]
1/3 of the distance is covered by running.
r = 1/3 d [3]
If we replace [2] and [3] in [1], we get
d = 1/24 d + 1/3 d + b
b = d - 1/24 d - 1/3 d
b = 24/24 d - 1/24 d - 8/24 d
b = 15/24 d = 5/8 d
The ratio of the distance covered by bike to the distance covered by running is:
b/r = (5/8 d)/(1/3 d) = 15/8
