Answer:

40 sandwiches

Step-by-step explanation:

egg sandwiches : tuna sandwiches

 2                         : 3

Multiply by x  because we do not know how many sandwiches, just the ratio

2x                       : 3x


Add 15  tuna sandwiches

2x                       : 3x+15

Now the ratio is 1:3


egg sandwiches : tuna sandwiches

 1                         : 3

Multiply by y  because we do not know how many sandwiches, just the ratio

y                           : 3y


Set the number of egg sandwiches equal

2x =y

then set the number of tuna sandwiches equal

3x+15 = 3y

We know have a system of 2 equations and 2 unknowns

Substitute y =2x into the second equation

3x+15 = 3(2x)

Distribute

3x+15 = 6x

Subtract 3x from each side

3x-3x+15 = 6x-3x

15 =3x

Divide by 3

15/3 = 3x/3

5 =x


egg sandwiches : tuna sandwiches

 2                         : 3

Multiply by x  because we do not know how many sandwiches, just the ratio

2x                       : 3x

2*5                        3*5

10                             15


He originally made 10 egg sandwiches and 15 tuna sandwiches

Then he made 15 more tuna sandwiches

The total number of sandwiches he made is

10+15+15 = 40 sandwiches

The circumference of Circle K is pi. The circumference of Circle L is 4xpi.
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

Ratio of circumferences: \displaystyle\frac{1}{4}

Ratio of radii: \displaystyle\frac{1}{4}

Ratio of areas: \displaystyle\frac{1}{16}

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given:

- The circumference of Circle K is \pi

- The circumference of Circle L is 4\pi

Therefore, the ratio of their circumferences would be:

\displaystyle\frac{\pi}{4\pi} ⇒ \displaystyle\frac{1}{4} when simplified

The formula for circumference is C=2\pi r, where <em>r</em> is the radius. To find the ratio of the circles' radii, we must identify their radii through their given circumferences.

If the circumference of Circle K is \pi, or 1\pi, then its radius is \displaystyle\frac{1}{2}.

If the circumference of Circle L is 4\pi, then its radius is \displaystyle\frac{4}{2}, which is 2.

Therefore the ratio their radii would be:

\displaystyle\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{{2}} ⇒ \displaystyle\frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2} ⇒ \displaystyle\frac{1}{4} when simplified

The formula for area is:

A=\pi r^2

First, let's find the area of Circle K:

A=\pi (\displaystyle\frac{1}{2})^2\\\\A=\displaystyle\frac{1}{4}\pi

Now, let's find the area of Circle L:

A=\pi (2)^2\\A = 4\pi

Therefore, the ratio of their areas would be:

\displaystyle\frac{\frac{1}{4}\pi}{4\pi} ⇒ \displaystyle\frac{\frac{1}{4}}{4} ⇒ \displaystyle\frac{1}{4} * \frac{1}{4} ⇒ \displaystyle\frac{1}{16} when simplified

I hope this helps!
