If a ratio of skiers and snumboarders is 1:2, and if there are 1250 snowboarders more than skiers, it means that is that there 2500 snowboarders and 1250 skiers.
How to check it? 2500 is 1250 more than 1250 and the ratio is still 1:2 (there are two times more snowboarders than skiers). Both conditions are fulfiled, so it's correct.
Well four plus seven would equal seven tenths.
Answer:
it would be b since a number is being taken away from 8
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving for x:
-3x + 8 ≥ 14
-3x ≥ 6
x ≤ -2
Notice the sign gets reversed when you divide or multiply by a negative number.
The only option less than -2 is -3, A.
Here's a tip: on multiple choice questions, sometimes it's faster to try each answer instead of solving the equation. This can save time on tests like the SAT or ACT.
Let's try it:
-3(-3) + 8 = 9 + 8 = 17
-3(-1) + 8 = 3 + 8 = 11
-3(0) + 8 = 0 + 8 = 8
-3(3) + 8 = -9 + 8 = -1
So you can see the answer is A.
