We can solve this without counting too much, like this:

When we look st Diya's fraction: it's about 2 : you can see that the top number is about twice as big as the lower one (compare 90 and 40 for this, 90 is a little more than twice 40)

When we look at Leo's fraction: 97 is a lot more than twice 5!!! To simplify compare 90 and 5: it is definitely at least 10 times bigger (actually 18).

So even if we just "look at" the fractions; Leo's fraction seems too big to be 2.(15).

In fact, his fraction is equal to 19.4

Diya was right!

(and 97/45 is exactly 2.(15).

Total distance from w to z is -10 to 6 = 16

Add the ratios: 2 + 3 + 3 = 8

Divide distance by total ratio: 16/8 = 2

Multiply each ratio by 2 : 2x 2 = 4, 3 x 2 = 6, 3 x 2 = 6

WX is 4 units apart, add 4 to -10 to get x = -6

Answer: A. -6

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Thank you for providing the details of the question.

Unfortunately none of the results you have to choose from will give you 44%

The problem resembles the first probability question you were likely asked. "What is the probability of getting a heads on every throw of a fair coin?" The answer is 1/2 no matter how many times you throw the coin or what has happened before any point in the throws.

The answer should be 6/50.  If this turns out not to be the answer and you have an instructor your safest course of action is to ask how 44% was obtained. Tell me in a comment.

The answer is B.12 because if she make 3 in 5 hours that means that in twenty hours should make 12 because it's like this 3 x 4 = 12 and 5 x 4 = 20 so when you add the hours up you'll get the answer

A family ordered some candy bars and bags of chips for snacking. The number oof candy bars was twice as much as the number of ba
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

The family bought 2 bags of chips

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of chips bags be  =   x

The number of candy bars  =  twice as much as the number of bags of chip

The number of candy bars  =  2x

The total cost  spent is  = $5.50

Therefore cost of all the chips bags + candy bars = 5.50

2x +  x = 5.50

3x = 5.50

x = \frac{5.50}{3}

x =  1.83

x = 2 (approx)

Thus the number of chips is 2 and the candy bars is 2(2) = 4 bags
