Since you asked, simply, to know how a ratio is equivalent to another.

Ratios are like fractions in the way that they can be multiplied and simplified. 1:2, for example, can also be 10:20, 5:10, etc. This is inherent to the way a ratio works - say, for every 1 person, there are two cheese slices. This means that when the group gets larger, so does the amount of cheese slices.

Now, to find an equivalent ratio. You can simplify 4:6 by finding the GCF (greatest common factor) of these two numbers - something you can divide both of them by evenly. In this case, the GCF is 2. We divide both 'sides' by 2, and we get a simplified ratio of 2:3. You can then multiply this by different numbers (ones that are logical and could reasonably lead you to an answer on your worksheet or whatnot) until you find an equivalent ratio.

Evarado paid $1.12 for a dozen eggs at his local grocery store. Determine the cost of 3 eggs

Anton [14]

First you have to find out the cost for a single egg.

Since there are a dozen (12) eggs, you can divide the total cost by that.
1.12/12 ≈ 0.09.

Using the base cost of an egg, you can find out how much 3 eggs would cost.

0.09 x 3 = $0.27

A factory buys 10% of its components from suppliers B and the rest from supplier C. It is known that 6% of the components it buy

Aleks [24]

Answer:

The percentage of the components bought from supplier C that are faulty = 88%

Complete Question:

A factory buys 10% of its components from supplier A, 30% from supplier B,and the rest from supplier C. it is known that 6% of the components it buys are faulty. of the components bought from supplier A, 9% are faulty and of the components bought from supplier B, 3% are faulty.

find the percentage of the components bought from supplier C that are faulty ?

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total components bought by the factory

Components supplied by A = 10% of x

Components supplied by B = 30% of x

The rest supplied by C:

Percentage supplied by C = 100-(30+10) = 100-40 = 60%

Components supplied by C = 60% of x

% of all faulty components = 6%

Amount of faulty component = 6% of x

faulty components from A= 9%

Amount of faulty component from A= 9% × (6% of x) = 0.0054x

faulty components from B= 3%

Amount of faulty component from A= 3% × (6% of x) = 0.0018x

Amount of faulty component from C = (6% of x) - (0.0054x+0.0018x)

= 0.06x - 0.0072x

= 0.0528x

Let the percentage of the components bought from supplier C that are faulty = y%

y% × 6% of x = 0.0528x

y% × 0.06x = 0.0528x

y% = 0.0528x/0.06x

y% = 0.88 = 88%

The percentage of the components bought from supplier C that are faulty = 88%

Chloe swam 40 laps in the pool, but this was only 50% of her total swimming workout. How many more laps does she still need to s

Alja [10]

She has to 40 more laps. 50% is a half, so 40 is half of something. so you are dividing 40 by a half, which is 80. half of 80 is 40.

If x Is a real number such that x3 = 64, the x2 + x equals what?

Annette [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the equation is x³ = 64, that can be solved by putting cube root on both sides like so: ∛(x³) = ∛64, which simplifies to <em>x = 4</em>.

Plugging that into our expression gives us <em>4² + 4</em>, which is 20.
