500 : 1 expresses the ratio of sheets of paper to reams in simplest form ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • There are 4000 sheets of paper
  • There are 8 reams

We need to find the ratio between the sheets of paper to the reams in simplest form

∵ The number of the sheets is 4000

∵ The number of the reams is 8

→ sheet  :  ream

→ 4000  :  8

to simplify the ratio divide the two terms by the same number

∵ 4000 ÷ 2 = 2000 and 8 ÷ 2 = 4

∵ 2000 ÷ 2 = 1000 and 4 ÷ 2 = 2

∵ 1000 ÷ 2 = 500 and 2 ÷ 2 = 1

∴ 4000 and 8 can be divided by 8 to get the simplest form

   of the ratio

→ sheet        :  ream

→ 4000 ÷ 8  :  8 ÷ 8

→ 500           :  1

∴ The ratio of sheets to reams is 500 : 1

500 : 1 expresses the ratio of sheets of paper to reams in simplest form

Annita, Gary, and Tara all run races. Annita has 7 less than 4 times the number of race medals as Tara. Gary has 13 more than 2
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

4 t - 7  = 2 t+ 13  is the required equation.

The number of race medals Tara has is t = 20 medals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of medals Tara has = t medals

So, the number of medal Anita has  = 4( Medals of Tara) - 7

= 4t - 7

And the number of medals Gary has = 2 times (Medals of Tara) + 13

= 2(t)  + 13  = 2t + 13

Now, Annita and Gary has same number of medals.

⇒  4t - 7  = 2t+ 13

or, 4t - 2t  = 7 + 13

⇒ 2t  = 20

⇒ t = 20/2 = 10

or t = 10

Hence, the number of race medals Tara has is t = 20 medals

(5x+3)(7x-7) how do find x
Delvig [45]

We can use the FOIL method to solve.

(5x + 3)(7x - 7)

(5x * 7x) + (5x * -7) + (3 * 7x) + (3 * -7)

35x - 35x + 21x - 21

0 + 0
