The ratio of quarters to dimes is not still 5 : 3
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that ratio of quarters to dimes in a coin collection is 5:3 .
You add same number of new quarters as dimes to the collection .
Need to check if ratio of quarters to dimes is still 5 : 3
As ratio of dimes and quarters is 5 : 3
lets assume initially number of quarters = 5x and number of dimes = 3x.
Now add same number of new quarters as dimes to the collection
Let add "x" number of quarters and "x" number of dimes
So After adding,
Number of quarters = initially number of quarters + added number of quarters = 5x + x = 6x
Number of dimes = initially number of dimes + added number of dimes
= 3x + x = 4x
New ratio of quarters to dimes is 6x : 4x = 3 : 2
So we have seen here ratio get change when same number of new quarters and dimes is added to the collection
Ratio get change from 5 : 3 when same number of new quarters and dimes is added to the collection and new ratio will depend on number of quarters and dimes added to collection.
Answer:
what do you need help with?
Just sub in ANY number for x and solve for y
5x + 7y = 19.....lets say x = 0
5(0) + 7y = 19
7y = 19
y = 19/7...so when x = 0, y = 19/7.....(0,19/7)
5x + 7y = 19....lets say x = 1
5(1) + 7y = 19
5 + 7y = 19
7y = 19 - 5
7y = 14
y = 14/7
y = 2.....so when x = 1, y = 2......(1,2)
5x + 7y = 19.....lets say x = 3
5(3) + 7y = 19
15 + 7y = 19
7y = 19 - 15
7y = 4
y = 4/7...so when x = 3, y = 4/7.....(3,4/7)
Answer:
40 patients
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 25 by 5 to get 5 patients per hour (the rate).
Since there are 8 hours, multiply 8 by 5 to get 40 patients in 8 hours.
