Answer:

84 and 36

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of two numbers is 7:3.

We don't know what the numbers are, but since their ratio is 7:3, we can let the numbers be 7x and 3x. Notice that the ratio between 7x and 3x is 7x/3x = 7/3, so we still have the same ratio, 7:3.

The difference between the numbers is 48.

7x - 3x = 48

4x = 48

x = 12

7x = 7(12) = 84

3x = 3(12) = 36

The numbers are 84 and 36.

Check:

7/3 = 2.333...

84/36 = 2.333...

84 and 36 are int he same 7:3 ratio as 7:3.

84 - 36 = 48

The difference between 84 and 36 is 48 like the problem states.

This shows our answer, 84 and 36, is correct.

Hi, hope you’re having a good day today!!!

Answer:

84:36

(The explanation is really really long, so you may want to skip it, unless this is a test or you want a better understanding then, yeah)

So first, you have 7:3

Then, you have to multiply both by the same number to get an equal ratio to 7:3,

Let’s try 7*10=<em><u>70</u></em> and 3*10=<em><u>30</u></em> <em>70</em>-<em>30</em>=40, so you know that the answer is close,

Then, let’s try 7*11=77 and 3*11=33, subtract and you get 44. Nope, not the answer

So, finally let’s try 7*12=84 and 3*12=36, and 84-36=48!!!!

So, the answer is explained! Wait, but you still have to put them like ratios (if this chapter is ratios and proportions)

84:36 or 84 to 36, either way.

A gift box has a volume of 450 cubic inches. The width of the box is 4 inches less than the length. The height is twice the widt
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

width = 5 in

length = 5+4=9 in

height = 2(5)= 10 in

Step-by-step explanation:

A gift box has a volume of 450 cubic inches.

Let 'w' be the width of the box

The width of the box is 4 inches less than the length.

length = w+4

The height is twice the width.

height = 2 \cdot width

height = 2w

Volume of box = length times width times height

V=(w+4)(w)(2w)

450=(w+4)(w)(2w)

450=2w^3+8w^2

2w^3+8w^2-450=0

\quad 2\left(w-5\right)\left(w^2+9w+45\right)=0

w-5=0

w=5

\quad\left(w^2+9w+45\right)=0, this gives two complex values

so width = 5

length = 5+4=9

height = 2(5)= 10
