Answer:

24 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Red:Blue = 3:2

Cars = 40

Required

Determine the number of red cars

Number of red cars is calculated using:

Red\ Cars = \frac{Red\ Ratio}{Total\ Ratio} * Cars

Red\ Cars = \frac{3}{3 + 2} * 40

Red\ Cars = \frac{3}{5} * 40

Red\ Cars = \frac{3 * 40}{5}

Red\ Cars = \frac{120}{5}

Red\ Cars = 24

Nancy has a 3.5-pound bag of birdseed. She uses 3/4 of the bag to fill a bird feeder in her garden. Then, she puts 0.25 pounds i
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

0.625lb bag of bird seeds

Step-by-step explanation:

She starts with a 3.5 lb bag,

Then she uses 3/4 of the bag, so find the remaining amount in the bag, which would be 1/4 of the original weight;

1/4 * 3.5

= 1/4 * 7/2

= 7/8

Then she removes 0.25 lbs of weight, hence take away 0.25 (the amount removed) from 7/8 (the current weight of the bag).

7/8 - 0.25

= 7/8 - 1/4

= 7/8 - 2/8

= 5/8

So she has a 5/8lb bag of bird seeds or a 0.625lb bag.
