Answer:

There are <u>16</u> blueberries and <u>4</u> strawberries in the bowl.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total Berries in the bowl = 20

Ratio between blueberries to strawberries = 4:1

We need to find the number of each type of berry in the bowl.

Solution:

Ratio = 4:1

Now we can say that;

Let the common factor be 'x'.

So we can say that;

Number of blueberries = 4x

Number of strawberries = x

Now we know that;

Total Berries in the bowl is equal to sum of Number of blueberries and Number of strawberries.

framing in equation form we get;

4x+x=20\\\\5x=20

Dividing both side by 5 we get;

\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{20}{5}\\\\x=4

Number of blueberries = 4x=4\times4=16

Number of strawberries = x=4

Hence There are <u>16</u> blueberries and <u>4</u> strawberries in the bowl.

Answer:

16 blueberries and 4 strawberries

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A bowl contains blueberries and strawberries there are a total of 20 berries in the bowl.

The ratio blueberries to strawberries is 4 to 1

Question asked:

How many of each berry are in the bowl ?

Solution:

Ratio of blueberries and strawberries = 4 : 1

Let ratio be x

Number of  blueberries in the bowl = 4x

Number of strawberries in the bowl = 1x=x

As total berries in the bowl are 20 and the bowl contains both blueberries and strawberries in the ratio 4 : 1 :-

4x+x=20\\5x=20\\

Dividing both sides by 5

x=4

Number of strawberries in the bowl = x = 4

Number of  blueberries in the bowl = 4x = 4\times4=16

Thus, there are 16 blueberries and 4 strawberries in the bowl.

Solve for all values of p: ​
Alchen [17]

Answer:

p = - 5, p = - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\frac{3p}{p-5} - \frac{2}{p+3} = \frac{p}{p+3}

Multiply through by the LCM of (p - 5)(p + 3)

3p(p + 3) - 2(p - 5) = p(p - 5) ← distribute parenthesis

3p² + 9p - 2p + 10 = p² - 5p

3p² + 7p + 10 = p² - 5p ( subtract p² - 5p from both sides )

2p² + 12p + 10 = 0 ← divide through by 2

p² + 6p + 5 = 0 ← in standard form

(p + 1)(p + 5) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for p

p + 1 = 0 ⇒ p = - 1

p + 5 = 0 ⇒ p = - 5
