Find the ratio a:b, if it is given that ... a+b=3a

Mathematics
1 answer:
grin007 [14]4 years ago
5 0

The ratio of a : b is 1 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio is a relationship between two numbers indicating how many times the first number contains the second number

Ex: If there are eight oranges and six bananas, then the ratio of oranges to bananas is eight to six, and is written as 8 : 6, which is equivalent to the ratio 4 :3 in its simplest form

∵ a + b = 3a

- To find the ratio between a and b find b in terms of a

- Subtract a from both sides

∴ b = 2a

→  a    :    b

Substitute b by 2a

→  a    :    2a

Divide both terms by a

→  1     :    2

∴ a  :  b  =  1  :  2

The ratio of a : b is 1 : 2

2. Write an expression to represent f (20)
Furkat [3]

Answer:

I just learned this topic and have the same question, so I'm not sure if this right. However, I see a fellow student struggling and have to at least put in what I know. My equation was f(n) = 64(1/2)^n-1, then the question was write an expression to represent f(20).

Step-by-step explanation:

So, my answer was f(20) = 64(1/2)^19

f(20) is the number you plug into n. And because the exponent is n-1, I knew to subtract 1 from 20 to get 19.

Then I just wrote the equation out like the original expect with the numbers pluged in: f(20) = 64(1/2)^19

I hope this helps!

A beehive contains 5 gallons of honey. A beekeeper removes 4 gallons, 1 pint, and 2 ounces. How much honey remains in the beehiv
White raven [17]
We know that:
1 gallon = 4 quarts = 128 ounces,
1 quart = 2 pints,
1 pint = 16 ounces.
Therefore:
5 gallons - ( 4 gallons 1 pint 2 ounces ) =
= 5 * 128 - ( 4 * 128 + 1 * 16 + 2 ) = 640 ounces - 530 ounces = 110 ounces
110 ounces = 3 * 32 + 14
Answer:
3 quarts 14 ounces of honey remains.
