5/n = 1.5/1.8 Multiply each side by 'n': 5= 1.5n/1.8 Multiply each side by 1.8 : 9 = 1.5n Divide each side by 1.5 : 6 = n =====<=======<== Easier: 5/n = 1.5/1.8 Perform the division on the right side: 5/n = 5/6 Multiply each side by 'n' : 5 = 5n/6 Multiply each side by 6 : 30 = 5n Divide each side by 5 : 6 = n

Monthly rent at Lake View Apartments has increased annually and is modeled by the exponential equation y = 2,400(1.04)x. What is
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The percent increase per year is 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y=2,400(1.04^x)

This is a exponential function of the form

y=a(b^x)

where

y represent the monthly rent at Lake View Apartments

x represent the number of years

a is the initial value (y-intercept)

b is the base

r is the rate or percent increase

b=(1+r)

The percent increase per year is the base of the exponential function decreased by 1.

so

r=b-1

In this problem we have

a=\$2,400 ---> initial value

b=1.04\\r=1.04-1=0.04=4\%

Therefore

The percent increase per year is 4%

The standard recipe for Hershey’s chocolate is 2/9 cups cocoa and 1/6 cups milk. If Hershey’s decided to pour a total of 14 cups
kifflom [539]

Answer: There are 8 cups of cocoa and 6 cups of milk to make the standard recipe for Hershey's chocolate.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of cups of cocoa is given by

\frac{2}{9}

Number of cups of milk is given by

\frac{1}{6}

Since there are total number of cups of ingredients = 14

First, we find out the ratio of cups of cocoa and milk i.e.

\frac{2}{9}:\frac{1}{6}\\\\=12:9\\\\=4:3

So, Number of cups of cocoa is given by

\frac{4}{7}\times 14\\\\4\times 2\\\\=8

Number of cups of milk is given by

\frac{3}{7}\times 14\\\\3\times 2\\\\=6

Hence, there are 8 cups of cocoa and 6 cups of milk to make the standard recipe for Hershey's chocolate.

If the ratio y/x is the same for all related pairs of x and y, what does that mean
Verizon [17]

Answer:

The same ratio indicates that there is a proportional relationship between y and x.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know when y varies directly with x, the equation is

y ∝ x

y=kx

k\:=\:\frac{y}{x}

Here,

k is the constant of proportionality.

The ratio y/x indicates that k is a constant of proportionality.

Thus, the same ratio indicates that there is a proportional relationship between y and x.

When x increases, y increases, and when y decreases, x also decreases.
