Bill's original ratio is like this...
6 to 10
You need to solve for this...
x to 15
You have to multiply both sides of the original ratio by 15...
6 times 15 = 90
10 times 15 = 150
Your new ratio is 90 to 150
Which reduces to 3 to 5
Yout new ratio is 3 to 5
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a test/hw, I'll give a hint.
This problem at first can seem a bit difficult with q's and power's everywhere.
But let's take a step backward. A power is when your mutiplying something by itself again and again.
Ex: 3^3=3 times 3 times 3
But what if we had something liiiike this:
(3^3)2
In this case its now
(3 times 3 times 3)^2, so its "techinicaly" (27)^2. And you would a fairly large number, which I'm to lazy to solve. But that's not the point.
We've seen what a power is deconstructed, and what a power is. Because my explantion probably confused you more than it helped, I'll give an example.
(2^2)^2=(2 times 2)^2=(4^2=16=2^4
However, there is a shorter way to solve it.
(2^2)^2=2^(2 times 2)=2^4
Hope this helps.
Answer:
5 months
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation A: 15+30x
Equation B: 35x
In 5 months Gym a will cost 15+30(5) or $175 and Gym B will also cost $175.
Basically all you have to do is apply reasonable numbers until you find out where the costs will meet up.
Answer:
#adult tickets sold = 346
#student tickets sold = 812
Step-by-step explanation:
let 'x' = # adult tickets sold
let 'y' = # students tickets sold
System of Equations:
x + y = 1158
5x + y = 2542
I used the elimination method and multiplied the first equation by -1
-x - y = -1158
+<u> 5x + y = 2542</u>
4x = 1384
x = 346
346 + y = 1158
y = 812
