Answer:
90
Step-by-step explanation:
60/100=x/150
180/300=2x/300
2x=180
x=90
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If the new fraction is 8/12 I will show how to find it.
Let's say the original denominator is x, then the numerator is x-4, so we have (x-4)/x.
Then it says f we add 4 to both, so now we have x/(x+4) this equals 8/12. Now, keep in mind -4 cannot be an answer because it would make x/(x+4) be divided by 0 which wouldn't exist.
Now we just use algebra.
x/(x+4) = 8/12
12x = 8(x+4)
12x = 8x + 32
4x = 32
x = 8
So the original fraction (x-4)/x = (8-4)/8 = 4/8
Answer:
12,000.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of people that were enrolled last year.
We have been given that enrollment at ELAC decreased by 5%, or 600 people, the year. We are asked to find the number of people that were enrolled last year.
We can set as equation such that 5% of x equals 600.
Therefore, 12,000 people were enrolled last year.
We know that 7/10 of the cookies are chocolate chip, so that means there are 3/10 of the cookies left.
We now want to find what 3/4 of 3/10 is.
We can do this by multiplying both fractions
3/4x3/10 (we just multiply across) to get 9/40.
We cannot simplify this answer, so our final answer is 9/40 of the cookies are sugar cookies.
Both charms are "similar".
And notice one diameter is 1, the other is 4, the diameters are on a ratio of 1:4 then, and so both figures are on a ratio of 1:4.
so, if another unit, like the circumference is at 3.14 on the small one, then the large one will have a circumference 4 times that much, because the circumferences are also on a 1:4 ratio.
