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 company owns two dealerships, both of which sell cars and trucks. the first dealership sells a total of 164 cars and trucks. t
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

294 cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of cars and y be the number of trucks.

We have been given that the first dealership sells a total of 164 cars and trucks. We can represent this information as:

x+y=164...(1)

The second dealership sells twice as many cars and half as many trucks as the first dealership. So the number of cars sold by 2nd dealership will be 2x and number of trucks sold by 2nd dealership will be y/2.

Further, the 2nd dealership sold a total of 229 cars and trucks. We can represent this information as:

2x+\frac{y}{2}=229...(2)

We can see that total number of cars sold on two dealerships will be x+2x=3x.

We will use substitution method to solve for x. From equation (1) we will get,

y=164-x

Substituting this value in equation (2) we will get,

2x+\frac{164-x}{2}=229

Now let us have a common denominator.

\frac{4x}{2}+\frac{164-x}{2}=229

\frac{4x+164-x}{2}=229

Upon multiplying both sides of our equation by 2 we will get,

2\times \frac{4x+164-x}{2}=2\times 229

4x+164-x=458

4x+164-164-x=458-164

4x-x=458-164

3x=294

Therefore, the total number of cars sold by two dealerships is 294.

The volume of a cube is 27n^27 cubic units. What is the length of one side of the cube?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The volume of a cube (V) is given in terms of its side length (s) as

... V = s³

You have

... 27n²⁷ = s³

You may recognize that 27 = 3³, so this can be written as

3^3\cdot n^{3\cdot 9} = \left(3n^{9}\right)^{3}=s^{3}\\\\3n^{9}=s\qquad\mbox{taking cube roots}

This result matches your second selection

... 3n⁹ units
