We know that there are 16 pieces left and that the ratio is 3 : 5. The ratio teels us there are 8 "parts" inside (because 3 + 5 = 8), so now we may just divide 16 by 8 to find out how much is one such "part":

16 ÷ 8 = 2

Now we can see that one "part" of the ratio is for 2 pieces. So if the ratio of black to red pieces is 3 : 5, then there are 3 * 2 = 6 red pieces and <u>5 * 2 = 10 black bieces</u>.

To rent a car, you must pay $0.30 per mile plus a maintenance fee of $35. Write and equation to represent this function.
KengaRu [80]

Let y be the total cost and x be the miles taken:

y = 0.30x + 35

35 is a fixed cost. No matter how many miles you drive the car you will still need to pay $35

.30 is a cost that depends on the miles taken (x).

Hope this helped!
