You can simplify ratios like fractions; by dividing both numbers by a common denominator

Answer:

you can simplify rations just like you simplify fractions. Whenever you are able to evenly divide both parts of the ratio with out changing the equation's answer, you are able to.

for example

if it were 3:6, you can simplify this by dividing these both by 3, leaving you with 1:2.

I have $25 all in nickels and dimes. There are twice as many Nickles as dimes. How many of each are there?

Mama L [17]

Answer:

N=250

Step-by-step explanation:

"twice as many nickels as dimes" means N =2D [eq1]

"collection of nickels and dimes is worth $25" means

5N + 10D = 2500 [eq2]

(To avoid using decimal points, PLZ express everything in cents.)

Substitution (substitute N from eq1 into eq2]:

5(2D) + 10D = 2500

10D + 10D = 2500

20D = 2500

D = 125

N=2D [eq1 again]

N=2(125)

N=250

Check:

Is 5(250) + 10(125) = 2500 ?

1250 + 1250 = 2500 ?

2500 = 2500 ?yes
