Answer:

They are equal

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of a ratio of two numbers like a fraction.  3:5 is like 3/5.

 Ratios may be reduced like fractions may be reduced.  So, is 3/5 = 12/20

3/5 = 0.6

12/20 = 0.6

barxatty [35]

Answer:

-Exponential Decay

-Decay factor is (1-0.05)

Step-by-step explanation:

-Given that the number decreases by a defined rate each year from the initial size by 5%,

-This is an exponential decay function of the form:

y=Ae^{-rt}

Where:

y is the quantity/size after time t

A is the initial size

r is the rate of decay

-Our function can the be written as

y=45000e^{-0.05t}

Hence, the decay rate/factor is 0.05

#Alternatively

The exponential decay can be of the form:

y=ab^x

Where:

y is the size at time x, a is the initial size, x is time and b is the decay factor.

b is of the form b=(1-r),\ \  r=decay\  rate

y=ab^x\\\\y=45000(1-0.05)^x

Hence, the decay factor is (1-0.05)

The ratio of red cars to blue cars in a parking lot was 8 : 7. If there were 48 red cars, how many blue cars were there?
shutvik [7]
What you need to do is multiply both sides by the same number. If 8 times 6 is 48, then 7 times 6 is your answer.
