Answer: men = 15 , women = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of men to women = 5:4

Total ratio = 9

number of people = 27

number of men = ration of men / total ratio x total number of people

That is :

number of men = 5/9 x 27

number of men = 3

Number of women = ratio of women / total ratio x number of people

That is :

number of women = 4/9 x 27

number of women = 12

The class room have 15 men and 12 women.

Step-by-step explanation:

       The given is,

            ratio of  men:women = 5:4

            Total people = 27

Step:1

       Let, X= Men in class,

              Y=Women in class,

Step:2

      For total men in class are,

              ratio for men= \frac{5}{9}                 (∵ 9= 5+4, for men = \frac{5}{9})

      Number of men in class

                        = Total people × Ratio of men

                        = 27 ×  \frac{5}{9}  

                     X =  15

               Men in class, X= 15.

Step:3

      For total women in class are,

                 ratio for women = \frac{4}{9}          (∵ 9= 5+4, for women = \frac{4}{9})

     Number of women in class

                        = Total people × Ratio of women

                        = 27 ×  \frac{4}{9}

                    Y  = 12

                women in class, Y = 12.

Step:4

     Check for solution,

                  Total people = Men + Women

                                         = 15 + 12

                                    27 = 27

Result:

     Men in class are 15 and Women in class are 12. Total number of people in class are 27.

Variable y varies directly with variable x, and y = 6 when x = 9.
lesantik [10]
X and y are proportional hence when y is multiplied by a number, x is multiplied by the same number.

18=6*3 hence when y=18,x=9*3=27

x=27

How do you simply 2x+8=-6
photoshop1234 [79]
To simplify <span>2x + 8 = -6, the easiest way is to manipulate the equation one step at a time:

</span>2x + 8 = <span>-6
</span>2x = <span>-14             (subtract 8 from both sides)
</span>x = -7                 (divide both sides by 2)

A family ordered some candy bars and bags of chips for snacking. The number oof candy bars was twice as much as the number of ba
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The family bought 2 bags of chips

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of chips bags be  =   x

The number of candy bars  =  twice as much as the number of bags of chip

The number of candy bars  =  2x

The total cost  spent is  = $5.50

Therefore cost of all the chips bags + candy bars = 5.50

2x +  x = 5.50

3x = 5.50

x = \frac{5.50}{3}

x =  1.83

x = 2 (approx)

Thus the number of chips is 2 and the candy bars is 2(2) = 4 bags
