A ratio of 5:7 means out of 12 books, 5 are in one category and 7 are in another. (The “category” isn’t specified in this problem.)
So here we’re STARTING with 36 books; we want to find a ratio that is equal to 5:7 and adds up to 36. Well 36 = 3(12), and so if we multiply each number in the ratio by 3 as well, we might get what we want. Doing that gives us 15:21, which adds up to 36 and is equal to 5:7. Boom, that’s the answer.
P.S. Here’s a question you can think about: why do ratios stay the same when you multiply each number by the same amount? (For example, why is 3:1 the same as 6:2?)
I hope this helps you
130+x-5+x-35+x+30+75=360
3x=360-195
3x=165
x=55
m (B)=55-5=50
Answer:
67
Step-by-step explanation:
A linear pair is two angles which form a straight angle when combined (or 180 degrees). Thus do 180 - 113 to get 67 degrees for Angle 2
You can use the fractions 3/18 and 5/12.
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
(-7x^2 - 3) + (4x - 6)
-3 - 6 = -9
-7x^2 + 4x - 9
