7 0

Answer:

b : a = 1 : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>\frac{ a + b}{ a - b} = \frac{5}{3}</em>

<em>3 ( a + b) = 5 ( a - b)</em>

<em>3 a + 3 b = 5 a - 5 b</em>

<em>5 b + 3 b = 5 a - 3 a</em>

<em>8 b = 2 a</em>

<em>\frac{b}{a} = \frac{2}{8}</em>

b : a = 1 : 4

The graph shows the cost, C, of sending m text messages. What is the cost per message?
Travka [436]

Answer:

C.$0.15 I TOOK IT ON STUDY ISLAND

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you want to find an exact point on the graph.  What I mean by this is you want to go somewhere on the graph where the line goes through an exact y and x value.

Second, you want to figure out where this x and y value are.  Where the graph first goes through two points is at (20, 3).

Third, you want to figure out what the 20 and the 3 mean.  20 is the number of messages and 3 is the dollar amount.

Finally, to calculate the amount of money per message, you divide the dollar amount (3) by the number of messages (20).  So, you have 3/20.  After this, simplify 3/20 to get 0.15, or 15 cents per message.

olga_2 [115]
In the given question all the information's are provided based on which the answer to the question can be easily deduced. It is already given that the population of the world in the year 2002 was estimated to about 6 billion. Among them 20% of the people lived on an an income of less that $1 per day.Firstly let us convert 6 billion from words to numbers.
6 billion = 6000000000
Now
Number of people earning less that $1 per day = (20/100) * 6000000000
                                                                           = 6000000000/5
                                                                           = 1200000000
So the number of people earning less than $1 per day is 1200000000
