Answer:
Question 9: Variables: (smallest) s, q, r (largest)
Question 10: 5 whole numbers (7, 8, 9, 10, and 11)
Step-by-step explanation:
For question nine, there are two given statements... s=q-2 and q<r. Say we plug in 10000 (a really big #) in for q, then we would get s=9998 and r>10000. This way, we can see that s would be the smallest, then q, and r is the largest. <em>(q<r can be written as r>q)</em>

For question 10, it states
. This can be split into
and
. When x is 12 in the first equation then
and when x is 6 in the second equation
(0.5 is also
). Therefore, x must be a whole number less than 12 and greater than 6, and it cannot be either 12 or 6. Whole numbers between 6 and 12 are 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 or 5 whole numbers.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3 pears, 9 apples
the ratio of pears to apples is 3:9 which reduces to 1:3
now if it wanted the ratio of apples to pears, it would be 9:3 which reduces to 3:1

Step-by-step explanation:
add all marbles together:
4 (green) + 3 (red) + 3 (yellow) = 10 marbles total
if we pick a yellow marble out of the bag and do not replace it, then we have 2 yellow marbles left.
we need to add marbles again with one yellow marble subtracted.
4 (green) + 3 (red) + 2 (yellow) =
new Total is 9 marbles.
so then we have 2 yellow marbles out of 9 total marbles.
2:9
or 2/9
or .22 (22%)
is the probability
