Answer:
5/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the denominator be x and numerator be y.
Given, numerator is 4 less than denominator
=> y = x - 4 ...(1)
When 5 is added to both:
Numerator = y + 5 , and, denominator = x + 5
Now their ratio is 5/7.
=> (y + 5)/(x + 5) = 5/7
=> 7(y + 5) = 5(x + 5)
=> 7y + 35 = 5x + 25
=> 7y - 5x = 25 - 35
=> 7(x - 4) - 5x = -10 {y=x-4}
=> 7x - 28 - 5x = -10
=> 2x = 18
=> x = 9
Thus,
Fraction is y/x = (x-4)/x = (9-4)/9 = 5/9
Answer:

Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
It is zero because Madison friends were not specified(number)
You can make a table like this:
If 1 bag=5 pounds
Then 6 bags must equal six times the weight of the first bag
5 times 6=30
Your answer is reasonable because 5+5+5+5+5+5=30
a.k.a
=5 =30
