A)
3 : 1
24 : ?
Add the ratio together (3+1=4), Divide the one you know (24 Black bears) by the ratio (24/4=8), the answer equals the amount of the missing value. (?=8)
B)
3 : 1
? : 12
12*3=36 ?=36
The black bear is just 3* bigger than the grizzly bear.
C)
Total =20
Add the ratio together (3+1=4), divide by the total (20/4=5), and then just multiple the ratios by 5.
3 : 1
15 : 5
I hope this helps :)
X + 5 + 11x = 12x + y
Simplify: 12x + 5 = 12x + y (We are adding x and 11x on the left side)
Subtract 12x from each side makes each zero.
5 = y
So we can plug in and test. I'm picking two random numbers to plug in for x. 10, and 82
x = 10, y = 5
10 + 5 + 11(10) = 12(10) + 5
125 = 125
x = 82, y = 5
82 + 5 + 11(82) = 12(82) + 5
989 = 989
So we verified y = 5
The price changed by $42 over the course of seven weeks
1/3 of remained 2/3 is 2/9. We’ve used 1/3+2/9 = 3/9+2/9 = 5/9. So we’ve used 5/9 and we have 4/9 of the paint
The length would be 6 and the width would be 4 to get 24 as the area.
