You can work this several ways. One way is to figure out how many stickers each has, then write their relationship as a ratio.
Here, Lisa will have 12/2 = 6 more than half the total number of stickers, hence 36. John will have the remaining 24. Their ratio is
Lisa's stickers : John's stickers = 36 : 24 = 3 : 2
Another way to look at this is to realize 12 divides 60 into 5 equal parts. The ratio that will total 5 parts with one number being 1 larger than the other is 3 : 2.
Lisa's stickers : John's stickers = 3 : 2
Answer:
to make it perpendicular the slope as to be -5 (opposite reciprocal of the original)
Step-by-step explanation:
Will bought several books that cost $ 2.50 each and received a $ 2 discount on the total bill. If he paid $ 10.50, how many books did he buy ?
2.50x - 2.00 = 10.50
2.50x = 10.50 + 2.00
2.50x = 12.50
x = 12.50/2.50
x = 5....he bought 5 books
