Examine the table of equivalent ratios and complete this statement. For 5 servings, the ratio of cups of water to cups of juice
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:     This is five-fold proportion

The first ratio gives solution namely

We will write general proportion  

a:b= c:d= e:f = g:h= i:j = k

According to this the first ratio gives coefficient k

When we divide 24/2 =12 our coefficient k=12

In the second ratio we will multiply 3 with 12 and get 36.

In the third ratio we will multiplu 5.5 with 12 and get 66.

In the fourth we will divide 108 with 12 and get 9.

In the fifth we will multiply 15 with 12 and get 180.

Finally the ratio is 24:2=36:3=66:5.5=108:9=180:15

All the boxes in a certain warehouse were arranged in stacks of 12 boxes each, with no boxes left over. After 60 additional boxe
AveGali [126]

Answer:

(1) There were fewer than 110 boxes in the warehouse before the 60 additional boxes arrived. (2) There were fewer than 120 boxes in the warehouse after the 60 additional boxes arrived.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that all the boxes in a certain warehouse were arranged in stacks of 12 boxes each, with no boxes left over.

This implies that boxes are in multiples of 12

i.e. 12, or 24, or 36 or....

Let us say this as 12m for m an integer

Now additional boxes arrived =60

Total number of boxes now = 12m+60

This when arranged in stacks of 14,nothing left out

Or this is multiple of 14

12m+60 = 14n for some positive integer n.

By trial and error we find that if 60 is to be divided by 14, 24 should be added and 24 is a multiple of 12.

So we say originally 24 boxes were there now 84 boxes there.

Hence both options are right.

(1) There were fewer than 110 boxes in the warehouse before the 60 additional boxes arrived. (2) There were fewer than 120 boxes in the warehouse after the 60 additional boxes arrived.
