Let's call the two numbers x and y. We can write a system of equations to describe the situation:

5x = 8y

x - y = 150

Let's solve the first equation for x:

x = 8y/5

Now we can use substitution to solve the system by plugging 8y/5 in for x in the second equation:

(8y/5) - y = 150

Simplify:

3y/5 = 150

3y = 750

y = 250

If y = 250, then x is:

x = 8(250)/5 = 400

The answer is 250 and 400.

One rectangle has a base of 12 inches and an altitude of 6 inches. The other has a base of 10 inches and an altitude of 5 inches
guajiro [1.7K]

Ratio of their bases = $\frac{12}{10}

Ratio of their altitudes = $\frac{6}{5}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

For first rectangle, it was given that

Base 1 = 12 inches

Altitude 1 = 6 inches

For the second rectangle, it was given that

Base 2 = 10 inches

Altitude 2 = 5 inches

Ratio of their bases is given by the ratio of the base of the first rectangle to the second one.

Ratio of their altitudes is given by the ratio of the altitude of the first rectangle to the altitude of the second rectangle.

Ratio of their bases = $\frac{12}{10}

Ratio of their altitudes = $\frac{6}{5}

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The first plan of $49 will be best plan for her.

Step-by-step explanation:

Katherine used 1479 minutes call in the last 6 months.

So, the average monthly call that Katherine made is \frac{1479}{6} =246.5 minutes.

Now, there are two plans for mobile recharge.

One is 250 minutes call time for $49 and the other is 350 minutes call time for $65.

Since 246.5 < 250 and Katherine does not want to spend more for minutes she won't use, then the first plan of $49 will be the best plan for her. (Answer)
