Answer:

5 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of gumdrops = 420

Number of chocolate bars = 280

Total Number of candies = 700

To find:

The ratio of candies to chocolate bars = ?

Solution:

First of all, let us discuss the method to find the ratio of any two quantities.

Suppose, we need to find the ratio of two numbers p and q.

Then to find the ratio p:q , we need to divide p by q and represent it in the simplest form \frac{a}{b} such that a and b can not be divided further.

Here, to find the ratio of candies to chocolate bar:

Ratio = \dfrac{\text{Number of candies}}{\text{Number of chocolate bars}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{700}{280}

Here, we can simplify the fraction by dividing the numerator and denominator by 10 first:

\dfrac{70}{28}

Now, let us divide the numerator and denominator by 14:

\dfrac{5}{2}

So, the ratio is <em>5 : 2</em>

Answer:

x= -2, y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. substitute x = 4+2y in the first equation: \begin{bmatrix}2\left(4+2y\right)+y=-7\end{bmatrix}

simplify it : \begin{bmatrix}8+5y=-7\end{bmatrix}

2. isolate y in 8 + 5y = -7 --> 5y = -7 - 8 -->

3. solve for y:  5y = -15 --> y = -15/5 --> y= -3

4. solve for x: x = 4 + 2y

x = 4 + 2(-3)

x = 4 + (-6)

x = -2

The function y = –16t2 + 224 models the height y in feet of a stone t seconds after it is dropped from the edge of a vertical cl
vodomira [7]
We are given with the free-fall function expressed as y = –16t2 + 224. To get the time of fall, equate y equal to zero as this means the stone has already reached the bottom. Doing this, t is equal to square root of 14 or equivalent to 3.74 seconds

write in point slope form the equation of a line through (-3, 8) and (7, 6). A. y-6=1/5(x-7), B. y-8=-1/5(x+3), C. y-8=1/5(x=3)
Anna [14]
First you have to find the slope, the slope formula is m = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1

m = y2 - y1/ x2 - x1       (-3, 8)  (7, 6)
m = 6 - 8/ 7 - (-3)
m = -2/10
m = -1/5

point-slope formula;
y - y1 = m(x - x1)            m = -1/5   (-3, 8)
y - 8 = -1/5(x - (-3)
y - 8 = -1/5(x + 3)

so the answer is, B.

hope this helps, God bless!
