Answer:
<u>So, the way a ratio works is </u><u>"for every 1 of this, we have 4 of this"</u><u> for example. (the ratio I just described would be 1:4.) </u>

I believe I've seen this question before. If the ratio of dolls to teddy bears is 9:3 then for every 9 dolls you have 3 teddy bears.
So, since we have 240 dolls and a 9:3 ratio to teddy bears, all we have to do is take how many dolls we have (240) and divide it by 3 to see how many teddy bears we have.
So:
240 ÷ 3 = 80
If your ratio is 9:3, then 80 is your answer.

Answer: 3.5a+5b=470 and a+b=115
Step-by-step explanation:
A is the correct answer I hope that helps :)
Answer:
x = (c+a)/2
y = (c-a)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the two equations and you get ...
(x +y) +(x -y) = (c) +(a)
2x = c+a
x = (c+a)/2
--
Subtract the second equation from the first and you get ...
(x +y) -(x -y) = (c) -(a)
2y = c-a
y = (c-a)/2

Comment on this problem
This is what I call a "sum and difference" problem. The solution shown here is (obviously) the generic solution to such a problem. Remembering this can get you quickly to the answer any time you're given the sum of two unknowns and their difference.
For the surface of rectangle to be minimum the the dimensions must be equal. Let the length=width=height=x cm
thus the volume will be:
x×x×x=28
x³=28
x=∛28
x=2√7 cm
thus the dimensions are such that length=width=height=2√7
