Answer:
5/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the denominator be x and numerator be y.
Given, numerator is 4 less than denominator
=> y = x - 4 ...(1)
When 5 is added to both:
Numerator = y + 5 , and, denominator = x + 5
Now their ratio is 5/7.
=> (y + 5)/(x + 5) = 5/7
=> 7(y + 5) = 5(x + 5)
=> 7y + 35 = 5x + 25
=> 7y - 5x = 25 - 35
=> 7(x - 4) - 5x = -10 {y=x-4}
=> 7x - 28 - 5x = -10
=> 2x = 18
=> x = 9
Thus,
Fraction is y/x = (x-4)/x = (9-4)/9 = 5/9
Step-by-step explanation:
rc = planted rows of carrots
rt = planted rows of tomatoes
h = number of hours
rc = 4h + 1 (starting with 1 already finished row there will be 4 additional rows every hour)
rt = 3h + 8 (staying with 8 already finished rows there will be 3 additional rows every hour).
when will they have planned the same number of rows ?
when rc = rt, of course.
so,
4h + 1 = 3h + 8
h = 7
4×7 + 1 = 28 + 1 = 29 rows
after 7 hours Quincy and his mom will each have planted 29 rows of vegetables.

Answer: She runs about 4.2 miles.
Step-by-step explanation:
6/50 = x/35
6*35 = 50*x
210 = 50x
50x = 210
x = 210/50
x = 4.2
