Answer:
8 red marbles.
Step-by-step explanation:
All together we have 40 marbles. The fraction of marbles that are red is 1/5 which means that we should divide the total number of marbles, which is 40 by the denominator ( Bottom number of fraction ) 5 so that we get the number of groups that have 1 red marble in them. In this case we have 8 groups.
40/5=8
You always divide by the denominator ( Bottom number of fraction ) first and then you multiply your answer by the numerator ( Top number of fraction ) .
If each group has 1 red marble in it and we have 8 groups, it means that we have 8 red marbles in the bag.
1 * 8 = 8 red marbles in the bag
If the numerator (number above the fraction line) was more than one, then this would mean that we have more than 1 marble in each group of marbles.
Example:
If we had 3/5 we would have 3 marbles in each group of marbles. This means that instead of doing 1 * 8 we would have to do 3 * 8 = 24. We would have 24 red marbles in the bag.
Easy and quick way if you do not need the explanation:
Another way we could do this is by simply multiplying the fraction ( 1/5 ) by the total number of marbles ( 40 ). This would still give us an answer of 8 red marbles in the bag. 40/5=8, 8*1=8
Given:
Cheshire Road Shelby Road
Plot 1 40 yards 48 yards
Plot 3 x 56 yards
To solve for x, we get the ratio and proportion of both plots.
40/48 = x/56
Do cross multiplication.
40 * 56 = 48 * x
2,240 = 48x
2,240/48 = 48x/48
46.67 = x
Plot 3 of Chesire Road measures 46.67 or 46 2/3 yards. Choice A.
Answer:
C. 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that inverse variation is given by:
Where <em>k</em> is the constant of variation.
We know that <em>y</em> = 48 when <em>x</em> = 3. Substitute:
Solve for <em>k: </em>
<em />
<em />
<em />
Hence, our equation is:
We want to find <em>x</em> when <em>y</em> = 24. Substitute:
Cross-multiply:
Divide both sides by 24. Hence:
Our answer is C.
