What do ratios compare

lesantik [10]

In mathematics, a ratio indicates how many times one number contains another. ... When two quantities are measured with the same unit, as is often the case, their ratio is a dimensionless number. A quotient of two quantities that are measured with different units is called a rate.

Angle 1 and angle 2 are vertical angles. If m angle 1 = (8x+12)° and m angle 2 = (3x+37)° find the measure for each angle.

laila [671]

Vertically opposite angles are always equal.

Given angles are (8x+12)° and (3x+37)°

=> (8x+12)° = (3x + 37)°

=> 8x - 3x = 37-12

=> 5x = 25

=> x = 25/5 = 5°

Angle 1 = (8x+12)° = (8(5)+12) = 40+12 = 52°

Angle 2 = (3x + 37)° = (3(5)+37)° = 15+37 = 52°

Evelyn went shopping with half of her monthly allowance. She spent $39.95 on a dress and 3/7 of the remainder on some accessorie

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Evelyn monthly allowance is $187.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the monthly allowance be 'x'.

Given:

Money taken with for shopping = $\frac{x}{2}$

Money spent of dress = $39.95

Also Given:

3/7 of the remainder on some accessories.

Money spent on accessories is equal to $\frac{3}{7}$ times Difference of monthly allowance and Money spent of dress.

framing in equation form we get;

Money spent on accessories = $\frac{3}{7}\times(\frac{x}{2}-39.95)$

Also Given:

Money left after shopping = $30.60

Now we know that;

Money taken with for shopping is equal to sum of Money spent of dress and Money spent on accessories and Money left after shopping.

framing in equation form we get;

$\frac{x}{2}=39.95+\frac{3}{7}(\frac{x}{2}-39.95)+30.60\\\\\frac{x}{2}=39.95+\frac{3x}{14}- 17.12 +30.60$

Combining like terms we get;

$\frac{x}{2}-\frac{3x}{14}=39.95-17.12+30.60\\\\\frac{x}{2}-\frac{3x}{14}= 53.43$

Now we will make denominator common using L.C.M

$\frac{x\times 7}{2\times7}-\frac{3x\times1}{14\times1}= 53.43\\\\\frac{7x}{14}-\frac{3x}{14}= 53.43\\\\\frac{7x-3x}{14}=53.43\\\\\frac{4x}{14}=53.43\\\\4x=53.43\times14\\\\x= \frac{53.43\times14}{4} = \$187$
