Answer:
5/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the denominator be x and numerator be y.
Given, numerator is 4 less than denominator
=> y = x - 4 ...(1)
When 5 is added to both:
Numerator = y + 5 , and, denominator = x + 5
Now their ratio is 5/7.
=> (y + 5)/(x + 5) = 5/7
=> 7(y + 5) = 5(x + 5)
=> 7y + 35 = 5x + 25
=> 7y - 5x = 25 - 35
=> 7(x - 4) - 5x = -10 {y=x-4}
=> 7x - 28 - 5x = -10
=> 2x = 18
=> x = 9
Thus,
Fraction is y/x = (x-4)/x = (9-4)/9 = 5/9
Answer:
first box is 4/5 and the second box (=) is 7/15
Answer:
0.075 inches per year
Step-by-step explanation:
The average rate of change is measured as
( difference in diameter ) ÷ ( difference in years )
= ( 251 - 248 ) ÷ ( 2005 - 1965 )
= 3 inches ÷ 40 years
= 0.075 inches per year
D = 14
1/6d + 2/3 = 1/4d - 1/2
2d + 4*2 = 3d - 6
2d - 3d = -6-8
-d = -14
d = 14
