A 12 oz bottle of shampoo last 16 weeks. How long would you expect an 18 oz bottle to last

1 answer:

3 0

If a 12 oz bottle of shampoo lasted for 16 weeks, we have a ratio of 12:16 which can be shortened to 3:4.

Now if we have 18 oz bottle we know that it's 1/2 more than 12 oz bottle, so the ratio will be also 1/2 more. So if it was 12:16, the new ratio will be:

12 + (1/2 * 12) : 16 + (1/2 * 16)
12 + 6 : 16 + 8
18 : 24

It means that 18 oz bottle should last for 24 weeks. Of course the ratio has to stay the same in its lowest form in both situations and as 18:24 can be shortened to 3:4, it proves it's correct :)

A textbook store sold a combined total of 438 biology and psychology textbooks in a week. The number of psychology textbooks sol

Liono4ka [1.6K]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Number of biology textbooks sold: 257 textbooks

Number of psychology textbooks sold: 181 textbooks

<h2>Explanations:</h2>

Let the total number of biology textbook sold be "a"

Let the total number of psychology textbook sold be "b"

If a textbook store sold a combined total of 438 biology and psychology textbooks in a week, then:

a + b = 438 ................... 1

If the number of psychology textbooks sold was 76 less than the number of biology textbooks sold, then;

b = a - 76 ...................... 2

Substitute equation 2 into 1

a + (a-76) = 438

a + a - 76 = 438

2a = 438 + 76

2a = 514

a = 514/2

a = 257 biology textbooks

From equation 2;

b = a - 76

b = 257 - 76

b = 181 psychology textbooks

Number of biology textbooks sold: 257 textbooks

Number of psychology textbooks sold: 181 textbooks

Answer:

See below:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! I hope you are having a nice day.

We can solve this equation in a single step, we just need a bit of theory and a graph.

We can first see that its in $y=mx+b$ form. Which is also known as Slope-Intercept form.

This means that we know the following.

$b$ is the y coordinate of the y intercept.
$m$ is the slope of the line.

Since we know that, we can see that from our equation that the slope of the line is 3 and the y intercept is (0,-7).

Now that we've gotten that, we can start graphing.

The y intercept is -7 so we can plot (0,-7) as one of our points.

The slope of 3 means that we got up 3 units then right a single unit.

Therefore, another point could be (1,-4).

With our two points, we can create our graph by creating a straight line through those two points and therefore plotting our line.

Cheers!
