Answer:

$\huge y = \frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$7(1 - y) = -3(y-2)$

Expand the terms in the bracket

That's

$7 - 7y = - 3y + 6$

Add 3y to both sides of the equation

$7 - 7y + 3y = 3y - 3y + 6 \\ 7 - 4y = 6$

Subtract 7 from both sides by the equation

$7 - 7 - 4y = 6 - 7 \\ - 4y = - 1$

Divide both sides by - 4

$\frac{ - 4y}{ - 4} = \frac{ - 1}{ - 4} \\$

We have the final answer as

$y = \frac{1}{4} \\$

How are part-to-part ratios different from part-to-whole ratios?

PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratios can be of 2 types here:

Part to Part

and

Part to Whole

Part-to-Part ratios give the relationship between 2 distinct things/groups. Such as the ratio of male to female in a class, or ratio of water to sugar in a drink etc.

Part-to-Whole ratios give the relationship between one group/thing to the whole population. Such as the ratio of male to total students in a class, or the ratio of cups of sugar to total cups of drinks etc.

Note: If there are 2 parts in a population, we can essentially write 3 ratios. For example, the ratio of male to female in a class is 4 to 5. So in total there are 4+5 = 9 parts (whole). So we can say:

ratio of male to total population is 4 to 9

ratio of female to total population is 5 to 9

Also,

ratio of male to female (as stated before) is 4 to 5

3 ratios.
