Answer:

6 and 14

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers are in the ratio 3 : 7 = 3x : 7x (x is a multiplier )

adding 1 to smaller number is 3x + 1 and 7 to the larger is 7x + 7, then

3x + 1 : 7x + 7 = 1 : 3

Expressing the ratio in fractional form

\frac{3x+1}{7x+7} = \frac{1}{3} ( cross- multiply )

3(3x + 1) = 7x + 7

9x + 3 = 7x + 7 ( subtract 7x from both sides )

2x + 3 = 7 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 2

Thus the numbers are

3x = 3(2) = 6

7x = 7(2) = 14

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer: 24%

Step-by-step explanation:

First add up the proportion of people who walk to work and those who bike as well. This will show the proportion of people who walk or bike to work.

This is:

= 5/25 + 1/25

= 6/25

Then convert this to a percentage:

= 6/25 * 100

= 24%

What is 28% of 63%? Round your answer to the nearest tenth
Zina [86]

Answer: 17%

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First divide the percentages by 100 to turn the percentages into a decimal (28/100) x (63/100) = 0.1764

2. Then turn that decimal into a percentage again.

0.1764 x 100 = 17.64 but if you’re rounding to the nearest tenth without any decimals it’ll just be 17%

A 13 3/4 -inch candle burns down in 11 hours. If b represents how much of the candle, in inches, has burned away at any time giv
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

5t = 4b

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write a proportional relationship for b in terms of t

From the question, b represent the amount of candle burned away in a given time t hours

From what we have initially, 13 3/4 burnt in 11 hours

So in 1 hour, the amount burnt will be;

55/4/11 = 5/4

5/4 inches of candle burnt in 1 hour

5/4 inches = b/t

So b inches burnt in t hours

5/4 = b/t

5t = 4b
