Answer:
40 students
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem, one is given the ratio ( 8 : 3 ), since a ratio is another way of writing a fraction one can rewrite it as; 
(8) represent the number of students who want to learn about magnets, and (3) represents the number of students who want to learn about magic tricks.
In the problem, it is also given that 25 more students wanted to learn about magnets compared to magic tricks. If one uses the parameter (x) to represent the factor by which the fraction is reduced, then one can get the equation;
8x = 3x + 25
Use inverse operations to solve,
8x = 3x + 25
-3x
5x = 25
/5
x = 5
Substitute back in to find out how many students want to learn about magnets,
8x
= 8(5)
= 40

Answer:
3
Step-by-step explanation:
A multiplicative inverse is the same thing as a reciprocal, which is basically just flipping the fraction and changing the sign. Therefore the multiplicative inverse of -1/9 is 9
Answer:
12 possibilities
Step-by-step explanation:
In the first urn, we have 4 balls, and all of them are different, as they have different labels, so the group of two red balls r1 and r2 is different from the group of red balls r2 and r3.
The same thing occurs in the second urn, as all balls have different labels.
The problem is a combination problem (the group r1 and r2 is the same group r2 and r1).
For the first urn, we have a combination of 4 choose 2:
C(4,2) = 4!/2!*2! = 4*3*2/2*2 = 2*3 = 6 possibilities
For the second urn, we also have a combination of 4 choose 2, so 6 possibilities.
In total we have 6 + 6 = 12 possibilities.
