Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If the ratio of Niamah to Jack is 2:5, that means that for every 2 pencils that N gets, J gets 5. If there are a total of 21 pencils, then

2x + 5x = 21 and

7x = 21 so

x = 3.

That means that N gets 2(3) which is 6, and J gets 5(3) which is 15. Notice that 6:15 is the same ratio as 2:5 when it is reduced.

I really need help on this please can someone help me thanks in advance

Answer: option 2 is the better option

Step-by-step explanation: well in this case as you are trying to find the individual prices of the candy bars, you would divide the total price by the amount of candy bars. So in this case for the first problem, you would take the total price: $6.75 and divide it by 10. The answer to this would be .675 but you would round it up to .68 so that you have a two digit decimal. Therefore the answer is .68 cents for each candy bar.

you would repeat this process for the second problem. Total price: $7.25 divided by 12 (candy bars). The answer in this problem would then be .60 cents per candy bar. Once we see how much each would be, it is just a matter of seeing which price is higher. In this case, the second option is the better option.

Sorry this was long, that's how i explain things, but i hope this helps

How to algebraically find the limit of a function as x approaches infinity?
Sauron [17]

Well... One way you can do this is by testing a set of arrays and see the trend. If I chose to find what y1 is in (100, y1) and what y2 is in (101, y2), I would find the difference between y2 and y1. If y2 - y1 is positive, this means there is a positive relationship and y is also approaching POSITIVE infinity. A negative relation means that it is approaching NEGATIVE infinity. However, it could be approaching a single number like "4" for instance, and you just need to plug in the right number of data sets to make that educated guess.

Formula Example:
5 + 1 / (x + 1) will always approach 5 because "1 / (x + 1) will approach 0".

Hope this helps.

7/8 / 11/12. First get the reciprocal of 11/12 (which is 12/11). Then multiply by the reciprocal. 7/8 * 12/11 = 84/88 don't forget to simplify 21/22
