Answer: 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio shows how many times a number is contained in another. To express the ratio as a fraction in its lowest term, we convert 0.3km to metre.

1000 metre makes 1 kilometers. Therefore,

0.3km = 0.3 × 1000 = 300 metre

0.3 km to 500m= 300m to 500m

300m : 500m = 300/500

Reducing to its lowest term, 100 is a common factor.

300/500 = (100×3) / (100×5)

= 3/5.

Answer: Part a) 375 pounds, Part b) 8 words

Step-by-step explanation:

<u />

Since n represents the number of words there are, we can plug in 20 for n into the equation to get:

C = 15*20 + 75 pounds

C = 300 + 75 pounds

C = 375 pounds

Since C represents the cost of the advert, we can plug in 195 for C into the equation to get:

195 = 15n + 75

Subtract 75 from both sides:

120 = 15n

Divide both sides by 15:

n = 8 words

A bag contains 25 balls 20 of which are blue what percentage of balls are not blue

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

20/25 = blue

This means 5/25 of the balls in the bag are NOT blue

(25-20 = 5)

We need to convert 5/25 to a percentage

$\dfrac{5}{25} = \dfrac{5\times4}{25\times4}=\dfrac{20}{100}$

% = per cent

"per" means "out of"

"cent" means "one hundred"

20/100 = 20%
