The ratio of the numerator to the denominator of a fraction is 2 to 3. If both the numerator and the denominator are increased b
masha68 [24]

Answer:

The fraction is \frac{4}{6}

Option (B) is correct.

3n-2d=0  and 4n+8=3d+6

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Given : The ratio of the numerator to the denominator of a fraction is 2 to 3.

That is \frac{n}{d}=\frac{2}{3}

Cross multiply , we get,

3n=2d

Or, 3n-2d=0   ........(1)

Also, given : . If both the numerator and the denominator are increased by 2, the fraction becomes 3/4

That is \frac{n+2}{d+2}=\frac{3}{4}

Cross multiply , We get,

4{n+2}={3}{d+2}

4n+8=3d+6  .........(2)

3d-4n=2  .......(3)

Thus, from (1) and (2) , option (B) follows.

Solving equation (1) and (3) to get the original fraction using elimination method,

3n - 2d = 0    ............(1)

and 3d - 4n = 2       .........(3)

Multiply equation (1) by 3 , we get ,

9n - 6d = 0  ..........(4)

Multiply equation (3) by 2 , we get ,

-8n + 6d = 4 ..........(5)

Adding (4) and  (5) , we get,

9n - 6d -8n + 6d = 4 + 0

⇒ n = 4

Put n = 4 in (1), we get

3n - 2d = 0 ⇒ 3(4) - 2d = 0 ⇒ 12 -2d = 0  ⇒  12 = 2d ⇒ d = 6

so, the numerator is 4 and  the denominator is 6.

Thus, the fraction is \frac{4}{6}

Answer:

<u>There were 6, 9, 12 and 15 children if the number of adults at the beach were 8, 12, 16 and 20.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

After reviewing the information given for solving the question, we notice that the ratio of adults in relation with the number of children at the beach is 4:3. In that case, for finding the number of children for every specific number of adults, we do the following calculations:

1. For 8 adults: 8/4 = 2 and using the ratio 4:3, we multiply by 2 and we get that the number of children is 6.

2.  For 12 adults: 12/4 = 3 and using the ratio 4:3, we multiply by 3 and we get that the number of children is 9.

3.  For 16 adults: 16/4 = 4 and using the ratio 4:3, we multiply by 4 and we get that the number of children is 12.

4.  For 20 adults: 20/4 = 5 and using the ratio 4:3, we multiply by 5 and we get that the number of children is 15.

<u>There were 6, 9, 12 and 15 children if the number of adults at the beach were 8, 12, 16 and 20.</u>

X+5+x11=10 <br> Solve for X and show the work please!
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

x=5/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify left side by adding 11x+x

12x+5=10

Get x alone on left side by subtracting 5 on both sides

12x=5

Get X alone by dividing both sides by 12

x=5/12

The volume of a rectangular prism that has a length of 3 units, a width of 6 units, and a height of 4 units is found by V=LWH=(3
Wittaler [7]
This is the concept of volume of solid materials. Volume is of a rectangular prism is given by:
volume=length*width*height
length=6 units
width=3 units
height=4 units
thus;
volume=6*3*4=72 cubic units
