She had 21:7 because if you multiply 3:1 by 7 each it is 21:7 so she had 7 blue pens

There are 21 red pens. For every 3 red pens, there is 1 blue pen.
Let's make these into a fraction equation.
21/p=3/1
p is the number of blue pens we have yet to find.
First, cross multiply.
21x1=21
px3=3p
Now, we have an equation of
21÷3p
We set it equal to 1, and we solve it.
21÷3p = 1
(21÷3p)×3p=1×3p
21=3p
21÷3=(3p)÷3
7=p
So, if there are 21 red pens, there are 7 blue pens.
We add these together to find the total number of pens the teacher has.
21+7=28
The teacher has 28 pens total.

Estimate the quotient to the nearest whole number by using compatible numbers 7.73 divided by 1.73
Alex73 [517]
If you divide on a calculator, you get 4.468208092, so I would say the answer is 4.4, since the number after 4 is 6, which is more than 5, I round to the 4. Hope this helps!

Write each number as a product using the GCF as a​ factor, and apply the Distributive Property.
Rasek [7]

The distributive property: a(b + c) = ab + ac.

Factors of 38: 1, 2, 19, 38

Factors of 57: 1, 3, 19, 57

GCF(38, 57) = 19

38 + 57 = 19 · 2 + 19 · 3 = 19(2 + 3)

Suppose you received a score of 95 out of 100 on exam 1 . The mean was 79 and the standard deviation was 8 . If your score on ex
Schach [20]

Answer:

You did the same on both exams.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare both the scores, we need to compute the z scores of both the exams and then compare the values. The formula for z-score is:

<u>Z = (X - μ)/σ</u>

Where X = score obtained

           μ = mean score

           σ = standard deviation

For Exam 1:

Z = (95 - 79)/8

  = 16/8

<u>Z = 2</u>

For Exam 2:

Z = (90 - 60)/15

  = 30/15

<u>Z = 2</u>

<u>The z-scores for both the tests are same hence the third option is correct i.e. </u><u>you did the same on both exams.</u>

A LARGE RECTANGULAR POSTER IS 3 TIMES AS LONG AND 3 TIMES AS WIDE AS A SMALL RECTANGULA POSTER. THE SMALL POSTER IS 3 FEET LONG
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

the Larger poster is 9ft long by 6ft wide

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the length and width values of the large poster we first need to find the width of the smaller poster since we are already given the length. Since we are also provided with the perimeter we can add the length twice and subtract it from the perimeter which would give us the value of both width sides of the rectangle, then we simply divide by 2 to get the value of the individual width.

10ft = 3ft + 3ft + w + w

10ft = 6ft + 2w

4ft = 2w

2ft = w

Since the larger poster is 3 times as big for the length and the width we simply multiply the smaller poster's length and width by 3...

L = 3 * 3 = 9ft

W = 2 * 3 = 6ft

Finally, we can see that the Larger poster is 9ft long by 6ft wide
