9/2 = 81/a....9 kids meals to 2 adult meals = 81 kids meals to a adult meals
cross multiply
9a = 2(81)
9a = 162
a = 162/9
a = 18...so there were 18 adult meals
ratio is : 81/18
Answer/Step-by-step Explanation:
Given:
a = no. of DVDs
b = no. of CDs
Total cost ($) for DVDs and CDs = 
a. The cost for 1 DVD = 2.5(a) = 2.5(1) = $2.5
The cost for 1 CD = 2(b) = 2(1) = $2
b. Total cost for 4 DVDs and 4 CDs:
Substitute a = 4, and b = 4 into the equation.


Total cost for 4 DVDs and 4 CDs = $18
c. To find out if $20 would be enough to buy 6 DVDs and 3 CDs, substitute a = 6, and b = 3 into the equation. Solve for the total cost to see if it equals $20 or is less than $20. If it's greater than $20, then it won't be enough.


6 DVDs and 3 CDs cost more than $20, therefore, $20 is not enough.
Answer:
4/5 + 3/4 =
or 1.55
Step-by-step explanation:
This can be solved by first finding the highest common factors of denominators of the two fractions, i.e. 4 and 5.
The highest common factor of 4 and 5 can be found by multiplying the two numbers as follows:
The highest common factor of 4 and 5 = 4 * 5 = 20
This can now be used to solve 4/5 + 3/4 as follows:
4/5 + 3/4 = ((4 * 4) + (5 * 3)) / 20 = (16 + 15) / 20 = 31 / 20 =
or 1.55
Therefore, we have:
4/5 + 3/4 =
or 1.55
