A ratio is comparing one thing to another (numbers in this case). You can write ratios in many ways
here’s three different ways.
There are four girls and and 2 boys.
The ratio of girls to boys is:
4:2
4 to 2
4/2

*THE RATIO MUST ALWAYS BE IN ORDER!!! If boys come first in the problem WRITE THE BOYS NUMBER FIRST! If girls come first, WRITE THE GIRLS FIRST IN THE RATIO!!! (That’s a very common mistake) hope this helps!

Answer:

x = $11400

Step-by-step explanation:

Naomi is paid $190 per week plus 5.5% of her total sales in dollars, x, which can be represented by g ( x ) = 190 + 0.055 x.

And Josiah is paid $475 per week plus 3% of his total sales in dollars, x, which can be represented by f ( x ) = 475 + 0.03 x

Let the weekly pat for them are equal.

Then, g(x) = f(x)

⇒ 190 + 0.055 x = 475 + 0.03 x

⇒ 0.025 x = 285

⇒ x = $11400

Therefore, for the value of x = $11400, that will make their weekly pay the same. (Answer)

Three consecutive integers are n, n+1, and n+2.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

<span>We convert the sentences to mathematical expressions as follows

"</span>Four times the sum of the least and greatest integers" : 4[n+(n+2)]

"is 12 less than three times the least integer": = 3n-12

So we have:

4[n+(n+2)]=3n-12 (this is the equation)

4[2n+2]=3n-12
8n+8=3n-12

8n-3n=-12-8
5n=-20

n=-20/5=-4

Answer: the equation is 4[n+(n+2)]=3n-12 , the least integer is -4
