Answer:

20 students are girls. (15 are boys)

Step-by-step explanation:

if the ratio is 3:4 and the total students is 35, you can make the following equation:

3x + 4x = 35

7x = 35

x = 5

then, multiply x by 4.

5*4 = 20.

20 students are girls. (15 are boys.)

sorry if this isn't well explained. hopefully I still helped!

Coulter Supply has a total debt ratio of .46. What is the equity multiplier? Select one: a. .89 b. 1.17 c. 1.47 d. 1.85 e. 2.17
Archy [21]

Answer:

Option D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for total debt ratio is

\text{Total debt ratio}=\dfrac{\text{Total assets - Total Equity}}{\text{Total assets}}

It can be rewritten as

\text{Total debt ratio}=1-\dfrac{\text{Total Equity}}{\text{Total assets}}     .... (1)

We know that,

\text{ Equity multiplier}=\dfrac{\text{Total Equity}}{\text{Total assets}}          ... (2)

Using (1) and (2) we get

\text{Total debt ratio}=1-\dfrac{1}{\text{Equity multiplier}}

Substitute total debt ratio=0.46 in the above equation.

0.46=1-\dfrac{1}{\text{Equity multiplier}}

0.46-1=-\dfrac{1}{\text{Equity multiplier}}

-0.54=-\dfrac{1}{\text{Equity multiplier}}

\text{Equity multiplier}=-\dfrac{1}{-0.54}

\text{Equity multiplier}=1.85185185

\text{Equity multiplier}\approx 1.85

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Which of the following pairs of numbers contains like fractions? A. 5⁄6 and 10⁄12 B. 3⁄2 and 2⁄3 C. 3 1⁄2 and 4 4⁄4 D. 6⁄7 and 1
ElenaW [278]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answers are:

A.

\frac{5}{6} and \frac{10}{12}

D.

\frac{6}{7} and 1\frac{5}{7}

<h2>Why?</h2>

To find which of the following pairs of numbers contains like fractions, we must remember that like fractions are the fractions that share the same denominator.

We are given two fractions that are like fractions. Those fractions are:

Option A.

\frac{5}{6} and \frac{10}{12}

We have that:

\frac{10}{12}=\frac{5}{6}

So, we have that the pairs of numbers

\frac{5}{6}

and

\frac{5}{6}

Share the same denominator, which is equal to 6, so, the pairs of numbers contains like fractions.

Option D.

\frac{6}{7} and 1\frac{5}{7}

We have that:

1\frac{5}{7}=1+\frac{5}{7}=\frac{7+5}{7}=\frac{12}{7}

So, we have that the pair of numbers

\frac{6}{7}

and

\frac{12}{7}

Share the same denominator, which is equal to 7, so, the pairs of numbers constains like fractions.

Also, we have that the other given options are not like fractions since both pairs of numbers do not share the same denominator.

The other options are:

\frac{3}{2},\frac{2}{3}

and

3\frac{1}{2},4\frac{4}{4}

We can see that both pairs of numbers do not share the same denominator so, they do not contain like fractions.

Hence, the answers are:

A.

\frac{5}{6} and \frac{10}{12}

D.

\frac{6}{7} and 1\frac{5}{7}
