Question:

The numerator and denominator of a fraction are in the ratio of 3 to 5. If the numerator and denominator are both decreased by 2, the fraction is now equal to  \frac{1}{2}.

If n = the numerator and d = the denominator, which of the following systems of equations could be used to solve the problem?

5n = 3d and n - 2 = 2d - 4

5n = 3d and 2n - 4 = d - 2

3n = 5d and 2n - 4 = d - 2

Answer:

5n = 3d and 2n – 4 = d – 2

Solution:

Let n be the numerator of the fraction and d be the denominator of the fraction.

Given the numerator and denominator of a fraction are in the ratio of 3 to 5.

This can be written as n : d = 3 : 5.

⇒ \frac{n}{d}= \frac{3}{5} – – – – (1)

Do cross multiplication, we get

⇒ 5n = 3d

When the numerator and denominator are decreased by 2, the fraction is equal to \frac{1}{2}.

⇒ \frac{n-2}{d-2}= \frac{1}{2}

Do cross multiplication, we get

⇒ 2(n –2)=1(d – 2)

⇒ 2n – 4 = d – 2

Hence, 5n = 3d and 2n – 4 = d – 2 can be used to solve the problem.

James asked 60 pupils which drink they liked best from cola, milk and water.
Olin [163]

Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 60 pupils in the survey

32 are boys, so we assume 28 are girls

12 of the boys said cola was their favourite

4 boys liked water best.

That is a total of 16 boys who prefer either cola or water out of 32 total boys

There are 16 boys leftover who must have milk as there favourite

9 girls liked water best

21 pupils altogether said milk was there favourite. We know there are 16 boys who said milk was there favourite, meaning 5 of these pupils must be girls.

That means 9 girls have water as their favourite and 5 have milk as their favourite, a total of 14

We know there are 28 girls total. That means 14 of them must have listed cola as their favourite drink.

There are 14 girls and 12 boys who said cola was their favourite, a total of 26 pupils
