You can write it just as given:
... (time spent in video games)/(time spent in television) = (10 minutes)/(1 hour)
However, the intent is to end with a pure number (no units), so we need to convert hours to minutes or vice versa. Most folks know that 1 hour is 60 minutes, so that is probably the easier conversion.
... = (10 minutes)/(60 minutes)
... = 10/60 . . . . . . . . . the units in numerator and denominator are the same, so cancel
... = 1/6 . . . . . . . . . . . .the fraction is reduced in the usual way
The ratio in simplest form is 1/6.
Hey there!
9:19
This is because there are 19 total people taking dance lessons - 9 + 10 - and there are 9 girls taking dance lessons, so the ratio is girls to total students, or 9:19
Hope it helps and have a great day!
Answer:
You would multiply the x component by -2
Step-by-step explanation:
(-2) (-2x-5y)=-2(-1)
4x+10y=2
4x+2y=8
set both equal to 4x
4x=2-10y
4x=8-2y
2-10y=8-2y
-6=8y
y=-6/8
y=-3/4
4x + 2(-3/4) = 8
4x=38/4
x=38/16
x=19/8
