Let "x" represent the number of units
5x = the number of tomato plants in Inessa's garden
6x = the number of tomato plants in Ralph's garden
the question says that half (1/2 x (5x)) of Inessa's tomato plants are taken from her garden and put into Ralph's garden
this means that Ralph has a total of 850 tomato plants in his garden
using all of this information, we get the following (which we have to solve):
(1/2)(5x) + 6x = 850
when we solve for "x", we find that:
"x" = 100
so, going back to the original statement, if Ralph started out with (6x) tomato plants, and "x" = 100, we have to multiply 6 by 100
doing so gives us our final answer:
Ralph had 600 tomato plants in the beginning
-3/4 = -0.75
5/8 = 0.625
-1/2 and 0.9 are between them
Answer:
What is the ratio of boys to girls in simplest form?
The ratio of boys : girls →4:5 so you have 4 boys and 5 girls making the whole count 4+5=9 in its simplest form. So to change the ratio proportion into fraction proportion we have: boys →49 of the whole
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
The text translates to:
5x + 2 < 13
which simplifies to
x < 11/5
the greatest integer that does this is 10/5, a.k.a. 2
