Answer:

  E)  176

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in ratio units is 5 -3 = 2. If one ratio unit changes sides, the ratio will be 4 : 4, or 1 : 1. Then one ratio unit represents 22 group members.

There are a total of 5+3 = 8 ratio units, so there are ...

  8 × 22 = 176

people in the group.

_____

<em>Check</em>

The original group has 5 × 22 = 110 Yankees fans and 3 × 22 = 66 Dodgers fans, for a total of 110+66 = 176 group members. If 22 switch sides, there will be 110-22 = 88 Yankees fans and 66+22 = 88 Dodgers fans, making the ratio ...

  88 : 88 = 1 : 1

I own a large truck, and my neighbor owns four small trucks that are all identical. My truck can carry a load of at least $600$
erastova [34]

Answer:

  there is no greatest load

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the load capacities of my truck and my neighbor's truck, respectively. We are given two relations:

  x ≥ y +600 . . . . . my truck can carry at least 600 pounds more

  x ≤ (1/3)(4y) . . . . . my truck carries no more than all 4 of hers

Combining these two inequalities, we have ...

  4/3y ≥ x ≥ y +600

  1/3y ≥ 600 . . . . . . . subtract y

  y ≥ 1800 . . . . . . . . multiply by 3

My truck's capacity is greater than 1800 +600 = 2400 pounds. This is a lower limit. The question asks for an <em>upper limit</em>. The given conditions do not place any upper limit on truck capacity.
