Step-by-step explanation:

When you have a ratio, you put one number as the numerator and than one number as the denominator.

so it would be (12/34)=(x/68)

In this example I made the ratio you are comparing it to have 68 dollars, so when you solve for the amount of quarters you need it should be 24, since all of the numbers in this example are just being doubled.

To solve for x, you multiply 68 on both sides of the equation, 68×(12/34)=x

24=x

So this proves that this is how ratios, are used. It also does not matter what number you place on the numerator or denominator.

Masja [62]

Let us denote the number of boys in the glee club with X and the number of girls with Y.There are 84 students in the glee club, which means that the following equation can be written:X+Y=84We also now that there are 12 more boys than girls, so:X=Y+12We can rewrite the first equation like:(Y+12)+Y=842Y+12=842Y=62Y=62/2=31X=31+12=43So, the ratio of the number of girls to the number of boys is: Y/X=31/43

Garrett is 3 years older than Rachael. In 2 years the sum of their ages will be 39. How old is Garrett now?

ziro4ka [17]

Let garret’s age be x

x + 2 + (x + 3) + 2 = 39
2x + 7 = 39
2x = 32
x = 32/2
x = 16

Garrett’s age after two years = 16 + 2 = 18
