In order to find what one part is in a ratio, you have to add the ratio up ( 5+ 3) and divide it by the number you're looking for (56). In this case, you get 56/8, which gives you 7. Therefore, each part is worth 7. You then have to multiply both sides of the ratio (5 and 3) by 7. 5x7= 35. 3x7= 21.
Therefore, 56 divided into the ratio of 5:3 is 35:21
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4:2/5=3/4×5/2=15/8
3/8 ÷ 2/12=3/8 ×12/2=36/16=9/4
Let’s simply step-by-step.
-9+1/4x-6-1/8x
=-9+1/4x+-6+-1/8 x
COMBINE LIKE TERMS:
=-9+1/4 x + -6 + -1/8 x
=(1/4 x + -1/8 x) + (-9+-6)
Answer
=1/8x -15
