How u do ratios and divide because i have bad memories and its to many steps?

1 answer:

5 0

It depends on the question, but if the questions is sort of like "Person A and Person B shared 40 sweets in the ratio 3:5, how many sweets did Person A get" then you add 3 and 5 to get 8, and then you do 40 ÷ 8 to get 5 which is 1 in terms of the ratio. Then, you would multiply 5 by 3 to get 15 sweets. If it's a different type of question then let me know so I can help out :)

2 women and 7 girls can do a peice of work in 4 days.4 women and 4 girls can do the same work in 3 days. How long would it take

svetlana [45]

Answer:

x: work a woman can do in 1 day

y: work a girl can do in 1 day

Then

2x + 7y =1/4

4x + 4y =1/3

4x + 14y =2/4 (1)

4x + 4y =1/3 (2)

=> Let (1) - (2), 10y =2/4-1/3 <=>10y = 1/6 <=> y = 1/(6x10) = 1/60 (work)

=> From (2),4x = 1/3 - 4x1/60 => 4x = 16/60 => x = 4/60 (work)

=> 1 day, a woman and a girl can do: 1/60+4/60 = 5/60 =1/12 (work)

Then, the day required for a woman and a girl to complete work: 12 days

A customer orders 8 bags of rice that each weigh 1/2 kg, and 12 packets of popcorn that each weigh 150 g. What is the total mass

Nonamiya [84]

Rice: .5(8) = 4kg (4000 g)
Popcorn: 150(12) = 1800 g

Total mass = mass of rice (4000 g) + mass of popcorn (1800g)

So...

Total mass = 5,800 g (or 5.8 kg)

Jenny opened a package of screws quickly and many of them spilled on the floor. She needs to organize the fasteners according to

We have to compare diameters and arrange them in order smallest to greatest

We can see units for option A and B are in square inches so they represents area. So first we will find diameter from area using formula

$A = \pi r^{2}$

so for choice (A) area is given as $4.375 \times 10^{7}$ . So plug this in A place in formula and then solve for radius r

$4.375 \times 10^{7} = \pi r^{2}$

$\frac{4.375 \times 10^{7}}{\pi} = \frac{\pi r^{2}}{\pi}$

$1.393 \times 10^{7} } = r^{2}$

$\sqrt{1.393 \times 10^{7}} = \sqrt{r^{2}}$

3731.76 = r

So screw A will have
$diameter = 2 \times r = 2 \times 3731.76 = 7463.52$ inches

Similarly for choice (E) area is $1.428 \times 10^{1} = 14.28$
so again plug in formula

$A = \pi r^{2}$

$14.28 = \pi r^{2}$

$\frac{14.28}{\pi} = \frac{\pi r^{2}}{\pi}$

$4.5477 = r^{2}$

$\sqrt{4.5477} = \sqrt{r^{2}}$

2.13201 = r

So screw E will have
$diameter = 2 \times r = 2 \times 2.13201 = 4.26402$ inches

So diameters of all screws are as follows:

Screw A: 7463.52 inches
Screw B: 1.5 inches
Screw C: $1\frac{7}{8} = \frac{1\times 8+7}{8} = \frac{15}{8} = 1.875$ inches
Screw D: 0.25 inches
Screw E: 4.26402 inches

Comparing all numbers 7463.52, 1.5, 1.875, 0.25, 4.26402 we can see that smallest number is 0.25, then comes 1.5, then 1.875 and then 4.26402 and then 7463.52

So order from least to greatest will be screw D (0.25), B(1.5), C(1.875), E (4.26402), A (7463.52).

So thats the order D,B,C,E,A and the final answer
