Hello there.
Question: <span>Mr. Nicolas is putting up strings of blue and white lights for the holidays. The ratio of blue to white lights is 5 to 6. If he has 77 strings, how many strings are white lights?
Answer: 5:6
Add the numbers:
5 + 6 = 11
Divide this number by the total:
77/11 = 7
Multiply values by this number:
5 x 7 = 35
6 x 7 = 42
To check:
35 + 42 = 77.
Therefore your answer is 42.
</span>Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck Studying ^-^
Answer:12000
Step-by-step explanation:
During the Playoff the schools football team has on average 30% their games than during the regular season
The average for this year's playoffs attendance was 15,600 fans
To get the number of fans during a regular season goes thus:
Since there is an increase of 30%, we add 100% to 30% which gives:
100% + 30% = 130%
= 15600 ÷ 130%
= 15600 ÷ 130/100
= 15600 × 100/130
= 15600 × 0.7692
= 12000
There are 12000 fans during a regular season
What we need to know is how much is 1/3 of 25 2/5.
We will be multiplying fraction by a fraction and for this, it's good to change mixed numbers into improper fractions:
25 2/5=

and now we multiply it by 1/3:

and that's the answer: the basketball equipment weights 7 4/5 pounds.
