The correct answer would be 13:4. <em>
</em><em />When reducing, you can divide both 600 and 1950 by 150. 1950/ 150= 13 and 600/150=4.<em>

If you’re solving for a... subtract the 8 to the other side so...
-4(a+3)- 3(2a-8) = 22.
Distribute the -4 and -3 into the parentheses (two negatives multiplied together is a positive)...
-4a-12-6a+24 = 22.
Add the constants and a’s together.
-10a + 12 = 22
Subtract 12 to the other side.
-10a = 10
Divide both sides by -10.
a = -1
Check and make sure that this answer works with the problem.
-4(-1+3)-3(-2-8)=22
-4(-2)-3(-10)=22.
-8+30=22.
22=22, the answer checks out
Answer:
You're less likely to make mistakes reading or writing very big and very small numbers if you use scientific notation. It also makes it much easier to tell at a glance which numbers are bigger or smaller without counting long strings of zeros.
$34
960*2=1920 (bus rentals)
80*10=800 (lunch)
1920+800=2720 (total cost)
2720/80=34 (cost per student)
Probability of wearing white shirt = 1/4
Probability of wearing tan pants = 1/2
Probability of wearing white shirt and tan pants = 1/4 x 1/2 = 1/8
