Answer:
1,25/0,75
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 = 0.75
5/4= 1.25
The best way to answer this question is to set up the first sentence as a ratio of large bandages to total bandages. You would write 5 large bandages to 7 total bandages to 7 total bandages. Then you would make this equivalent to x number of large bandages to 60 total. It would look like this 5:7 = x:60. You could use cross products to multiply 60 by 5 to get 300. 7 times x also should equal 300. Unfortunately, this example will not leave us with a whole number of bandages, but 300/7 is a repeating decimal or a mixed number (42 6/7 large bandages).
Answer:
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Distribute
2. Subtract 7x from both sides of the equation
3. Simplify
4. Divide both sides of the equation by the same term
5. Simplify
Answer: x=7
