Using equivalent ratios to find a whole \/

Mathematics
1 answer:
Shkiper50 [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are 20 kids with brown hair and this represents 80% of the class total.

So this means 20=.8n since we don't know the total number of kids.

20=.8n

Divide both sides by .8

25=n

So 25 is the total number of kids.

C. is the answer

You could also setup this equation given that 80% is 80/100:

[tex]\frac{20}{\text{ total }}=\frac{80}{100}

To figure out what that total is there you can divide top and bottom of the fraction on right hand side by 4 which gives you the 20 on top and the 25 on bottom.

a fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small. A delivery of 3 large boxes and 2 small boxes has a t
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

x = the wight of the large box

y = the weight of the small box

A delivery of 3 large boxes and 2 small boxes has a total weight of 73 kilograms.

3x + 2y = 73

A delivery of 8 large boxes and 4 small boxes has a total weight of 177 kilograms.

8x + 4y = 177

by solving the system of equations

3x + 2y = 73

8x + 4y = 177

we find

x = 15.5 kg

y = 13.25 kg

the large box weights 15.5 kg.

the small box weights 13.25 kg.

Shipping rates for Company A and Company B are shown in the tables below. Which company has shipping rates that you can represen
meriva

Company B; the ratios of cost to weight are equivalent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

In the equation, y=kx k is the constant of proportionality.

If the values are in accordance with y=kx, the values of k will be constant for all the values.

So we determine the values of k for both the companies and see which has a constant k.

If y=kx, k = \frac{y}{x}. In these tables, y is the total cost and x is the weight in lbs.

Step 2:

For company A,

when y=10.55, x=1, k = \frac{10.55}{1} = 10.55,

when y=10.85, x=2, k = \frac{10.85}{2} = 5.425,

when y=11.15, x=3, k = \frac{11.15}{3} = 3.71666.

For company B,

when y=2.75, x=1, k = \frac2.75}{1} = 2.75,

when y=5.50, x=2, k = \frac{5.50}{2} = 2.75,

when y=8.25, x=3, k = \frac{8.25}{3} = 2.75.

So company B has a constant value of k=2.75.
