A quotient is the result of a division.
Let the unknown number be x.
We translate the problem into an equation, piece by piece.
<span>"quotient of a number and seven" ----> x/7
</span>
<span>"12 less than the quotient of a number and seven" ----> x/7 - 12
The word "is" means "="
x/7 - 12 =
All the above is -2, so it equals -2.
x/7 - 12 = -2

First, add 12 to both sides and simplify.

Next, multiply both sides by 7.

Answer: The number is 70.
Answer: 80 ounces of yellow paint
Working:
As we know 2 ounces of yellow paint to 5 ounces of red paint, we can make a ratio:
2:5
Then we look at the question which says 200 ounces of red paint, so we replace the 5 ounces of red paint in the ratio with 200.
2:200
Then we figure out how much the 5 has been multiplied by to get to 200. We do this by doing
200 divide 5 = 40
Therefore we times the 2 ounces of yellow paint by 40 which gets us:
80:200
We can think of it as a fraction too to confirm our answer:
Simplify 80 / 200
We get 2 / 5.

Answer:
a. 1/10 or 10%
b. 1/2 or 50%
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the combination of machines 1, 2 and 3 produce 100% of the total output when added together, then the probability of choosing a bolt at random that is defective is: 5 + 2 + 3 = 10% out of 100% or 10/100, which is 1/10 or 10%.
If the bolt that is choosen at random is defective, than the probability that it came from machine 1 is 5/10 or 1/2 which is also 50%.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles would be supplementary
45 + 5x + 35 = 180
5x + 80 = 180
5x = 100
x = 20
To find out why they are supplementary, refer to the transversal below
∠3 = ∠7 (corresponding angles)
∠8 = 180 - ∠7 (supplementary angles)
And since ∠7 = ∠3...
∠8 = 180 - ∠3 which is why (in the problem) those two angles are supplementary (adding to 180 degrees)
