What is a ratio?

Mathematics
1 answer:

A ratio is a numerical comparison between 2 similar objects, persons, figures, or ideas.  For example if I have 5 cards and you have 10, I can say that you have twice as many cards as I do.  Or take my 5 cards and multiply by 2 to get your 10.  Another way I can say it is that the ratio between your cards to my cards is 2 to 1 or 2:1 (both mean the same thing).  Let's say now I have x cards, but knowing that I have a 2:1 ratio from your cards to mine, I can say that you have 2x cards.  There is alot more I can say, but this should get you started.  Feel free to ask any following questions.

Can someone help me with this??
dusya [7]

Answer:

Carlos and Pamela drove 120 miles on the first day, 240 miles on the second day, and 290 miles on the third day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of miles driven on the first day.

Then they drove twice as many miles, or 2x on the second day

and 50 miles more than the second day's, so 2x + 50

The total is 650 across all three days, so we'll take the sum.

x + 2x + (2x + 50) = 650

Combine like terms on the left

5x + 50 = 650

Subtract 50 on both sides

5x = 600

Divide by 5 on both sides

x = 120

Check work:

120 + 2(120) + 2(120) + 50 = 650

120 + 240 + 240 + 50 = 650

600 + 50 = 650

650 = 650

So they drove 120 miles on the first day

2*120 = 240 miles on the second day

and 2*120 + 50 = 240 + 50 = 290 miles on the third day
