How can complex fractions be used to solve problems involving ratios

Mathematics
1 answer:
strojnjashka [21]3 years ago

When you have ratios, and some unknowns, you can create complex fractions from them. Bring them to the same denominator, and solve for x.

Example - we have this proportion:
2-x
5-45
And we can change it into fraction:
\frac{2}{5}=\frac{x}{45}

\frac{2*9}{5*9}=\frac{x}{45}

\frac{18}{45}=\frac{x}{45}
18=x

In case of more complex fractions it may come in handy.

Toby bought 8 hotdogs and 5 fries. It cost $34.00
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Each hot dog = $3

Each french fry = $2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, lets define our variables:

x = Hotdog

y = fries

Next, you need to set up a cost equation for both Toby and Bernie:

8x + 5y = 34

2x + 6y = 18

Now, we need to isolate one of the variable:

2x + 6y = 18

2x = 18 - 6y

x = 9 - 3y

Next, we need to insert this equation back into the first equation (8x+5y = 34) to find the cost of y (fries):

8x +5y = 34

8 (9-3y) + 5y = 34

72 - 24y + 5y = 34

72 - 19y = 34

19y = 38

y or fries = $2

Finally, we need to find the cost of each hotdog by using the cost of fries ($2) in one of the formulas:

2x + 6y = 18

2x + 6(2) = 18

2x + 12 = 18

2x = 6

x or hotdog = $3

I hope this helps!
