Wo numbers are in the ratio of 2 to 3. If the smaller number is 18, the larger number is

The simplified ratio is 2:3. Since the smaller number when it's not simplified is 18, let's divide 18 by 2 to get our factor.
18/2 = 9.
So we can multiply 9 by 3 to get the missing larger number.
9 x 3 = 27.
Your missing number is 27, hope this helps!

Answer:

2/7

Step-by-step explanation:

6 large fish and 8 small fish (half of the them are red = 4)

total fish 6 + 8 = 14 fishes

probability that one fish is one small and red fish is

there are 4 small and red fish

= 4c1 / 14c1

= (4! / (1! (4 - 1)! )  /  (14! / (1! (14-1)! )

= 4/14

= 2/7

When the smaller of two fractions is divided by the larger, the result is 7/9. Of the smaller is 8/3, find the larger.
raketka [301]

Answer:

Larger fraction = 24/7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Smaller fraction = 8/3

Larger fraction = ?

Let the larger fraction is x/y then according to the statement:

8/3 / x/y = 7/9

Rule: When there is a fraction in the denominator of a fraction, the lower fraction is reversed and multiplied with the upper one.

So, according to rule:

8/3 * y/x = 7/9

8y/ 3x = 7/9      

Now multiplying both sides by 3/8 we get

8y/ 3x * 3/8 = 7/9 *3/8

After cancellation:

y/x = 21/ 72

By reducing it to lowest form (dividing both by 3)

We ge:

y / x = 7/ 24

This means y= 7

                   x = 24

So the larger fraction will become: x/y =24/7      

  • Proof:

Smaller fraction / Larger fraction = 7/9

8/3 / 24/7 = 7/9

Applying Rule:

8/3 * 7/24 = 7/9

56/ 72 = 7/9

Reducing it to lowest fraction: (dividing both by 8)

7/9 = 7/9

Hence proved

I hope it will help you!

11m ÷ 5

=2.2m

Check!

Red ribbon=Blue ribbon × 5

11m=Blue ribbon × 5

11m÷5=Blue ribbon

2.2m=Blue ribbon

Blue ribbon=2.2m
