Answer=15:39
Step1(find the number of right handed batters)
Left-handed batters=45
5 45
__=___
8 x
Cross multiply
5x=360
divide both sides by 5
x=72
Right-handed batters=72
Step 2 (find the number of total batters)
total batters=45+72=117
Step3 (find the ratio of left handed batters to total batters)
Left-handed batters to total batters= 45/117
45/117 can be shortened to 15/39
Answer=15:39
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
gas prices are now $3.75 and it up 10% from 6 months ago.
Find out how much were gas prices 6 months ago.
To proof
gas prices now = $3.75
let the gas price 6 month ago = x
gas price now is rise up 10% from 6 months ago
First write 10% in simpler form
= 0.1
Now the equation becomes
0.1x + x = 3.75
1.1x = 3.75
x = 3.41 (approx)
Thus gas prices 6 months ago be $ 3.41 (approx )
Hence proved
Answer:
x = 3.25
y =4.75
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to Solve the following system of equations below algebraically using substitution method we say that;
let;
8x - 4y = 7
..................... equation 1
x + y = 8.......................... equation 2
from equation2
x + y = 8.......................... equation 2
x = 8 - y.............................. equation 3
substitute for x in equation 1
8x - 4y = 7
..................... equation 1
8(8-y) - 4y = 7
64-8y-4y=7
64-12y=7
collect the like terms
64-7 = 12y
57= 12y
divide both sides by the coefficient of y which is 12
57/12 = 12y/12
4.75 = y
y =4.75
put y = 4.75 in equation 3
x = 8 - y.............................. equation 3
x = 8 -4.75
x = 3.25
to check if your answer is correct, put the value of x and y in either equation 1 or 2
from equation 2
x + y = 8.......................... equation 2
3.25 + 4.75 =8
8=8.................... proved
Your answer is 18 y=29/5x=18
