The two equation which can be used to solve the problem are:

5n - 3d = 0 and 3n - 2d = -2

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

The numerator of the fraction is "n" and the denominator of the fractions is "d"

<em><u>The numerator and denominator of a fraction are in the ratio of 3 to 5</u></em>

numerator : denominator = 3 : 5

\frac{numerator}{denominator} = \frac{3}{5}

\frac{n}{d} = \frac{3}{5}

On cross-multiplication we get,

5n = 3d

<h3>5n - 3d = 0</h3>

This is our first equation

The numerator and denominator are both increased by 2, the fraction is now equal to 2/3

The new numerator will be n + 2 and denominator will be d + 2

\frac{n + 2}{d + 2} = \frac{2}{3}

On cross multiplication we get,

3(n + 2) = 2(d + 2)

3n + 6 = 2d + 4

<h3>3n - 2d = -2</h3>

This is our second equation

Thus the two equation which can be used to solve the problem are:

5n - 3d = 0 and 3n - 2d = -2

Identify the prime numbers in the following list 5 7 12 11
Elis [28]

Answer:

<h2>5, 7, 11</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that cannot be formed by multiplying two smaller natural numbers.

A prime number has only two divisors: 1 and itself.

Therefore, the prime numbers are:

5, 7 and 11.

12 is not a prime because 12 = 2 × 6 = 3 × 4.

12 has six divisors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12.

guajiro [1.7K]
The answer is c.

When you look at the data, in the first column, the frequency of sales of both are similar. Even the second column shows similar data. Association is determined if there is a significant difference between the data in each column/row depending on what you are aiming to answer.

In this case, we look at it per column because you want to compare the frequencies of sales of each company which are aligned by columns. So we know to look at the columns and not the rows.

Please take 1 minute, and really read the example solution
under problem #12.  All of the other eight problems on the
sheet are solved in exactly the same way:

Multiply each side of the equation by the denominator of
the fraction ... the number under the variable (the letter).

This easy step will get you the answer to each of the
eight problems.

I can't help noticing that the title of the sheet is 'extra PRACTICE' .
If someone handed you the answers, then you would not get the
practice.  That would be just like stealing from you, and would be
just plain mean.
