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>

Which term best describes the graph of y = –2?
White raven [17]

Answer:

It would be constant.

Find the area of this parallelogram. HELP ASAP!
Tom [10]

Answer:

260cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Base = 20cm

Height = 13cm

Area of a parallelogram = Base * Height

                                        = 20 * 13

                                        = 260cm^2

Using the digits 1 to 9 at most one time each, fill in the boxes to find the largest (or smallest) possible values for x.
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

smallest: 8x -3 = 4; 1y +9 = 2. total = -49/8

 largest: 1x -9 = 8; 2y +3 = 7. total = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

If we use variables to represent the box contents, we can write ...

ax -b = c

dy +e = f

Then the values of x and y are ...

 x = (c +b)/a

 y = (f -e)/d

For positive integer values of the variables, x will always be positive, and y may or may not be negative.

Smallest sum

For the sum to be the smallest, we must have x be as small as possible and the ratio (f-e)/d be as negative as possible.

x will be small for large 'a' and for (c+b) small. For y to be as negative as possible, we want 'd' and 'f' small and 'e' large. Best results are obtained for

8x -3 = 4   ⇒   x = 7/8

1y +9 = 2   ⇒   y = -7

For these coefficients, the sum is -6 1/8 = -49/8.

(note that the values of 'b' and 'c' can be swapped with no net effect)

Largest sum

For the sum to be the largest, we must have x as large as possible: (b+c) large and 'a' small. At the same time we must have y be positive and as large as possible: (f-e) positive and large, 'd' small. Best results are obtained for

1x -9 = 8  ⇒   x = 17

2y +3 = 7   ⇒   y = 2

For these coefficients, the sum is 19. Again, 'b' and 'c' can be swapped with no effect.

_____

Additional comment

These extreme values are verified by examination of the 60,480 possible permutations of the coefficients.
