Answer:
They are Proportional because there will always be a 7 dollar difference
Step-by-step explanation:
Josh is paid 14
Tillery is payed 7$
The relation is proportional
Josh ||| Tillery
___________
14 ||| 7
16 ||| 9
18 ||| 11
20 ||| 13
Here is your answer:
Your answer is 18%
Reason: That's because 18 has a invisible decimal point:
18.
Then you move to decimal and change it into a %
Which will make it 18%
Your answer is...
18%
If she mowed 18 lawns in 15 hours and didn’t get paid she would be dumb but if she did get paid the answer is 1.76
ANSWER
The smaller number is 7.
EXPLANATION
Let the numbers be x and y.
Then we have;
y-3x=3... eqn (1)
If the sum of the numbers is 3 then,
y+x=31... eqn (2)
Eqn(2) - Eqn (1)
x--3x=31-3

Divide both sides by 4,

We put x=7 into the second equation,
y+7=31
y=31-7
y=24
The smaller of the two numbers is 7.
Your drawing was much more helpful and informative than your statements in words and symbols.
I see that you want to evaluate (3/2)^2 times (8/15)^2.
You could combine these two expressions into one, as follows:
3*8
( ----------- )^2
2*15
This, in turn, can be simplified by reduction:
( 4/5 )^2. Expanded, this result gives us 16/25.
Next problem
----------------------------
( 9/4 )^4 * ( 4/3 )^3
9^4 4^3
First, focus on ( ------- ) * ( ----------- )
4^4 3^3
Now reduce 4^3 / 4^4: The end result is 1/4.
Reduce 9^4 / 3^3. To do this, rewrite that 9 as (3^2), resulting in:
3^8 / 3^3. The end result is 3^5.
Putting this expression back together, we get 3^5 / 4 (answer)
