Answer: 17/2
Step-by-step explanation: 2/3 of 12 3/8 = 8.25
8.25 as a fraction= 17/2.
Answer:
15(b)
16(a)
Step-by-step explanation:
15) 2x+10/2
Taking 2 common
2(x+5)/2
x+5
16) -2(-x-3)
(-2*-x)+(-2*-3)
2x+(6)
2x+6
Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
4 : 8 = x : 6, expressing in ratio form, that is
= 
( cross- multiply )
8x = 24 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 3
Thus 4 : 8 = 3 : 6
In case A, as the error would be a difference of 1, the assumption could be mantained, but in case B the difference will be bigger, showing that the ratio is not 3:1 but 4:1.
<h3><u>Ratios</u></h3>
Given that a preliminary study was carried out to test the hypothesis that the ratio of white to dark herons on the island was 3:1, but A) a small census found 16 white morphs and 4 dark, to determine if the assumption of a 3 :1 ratio could be rejected, and B) to determine the same question if the census were larger with 160 white morphs and 40 dark, the following calculations must be made:
A)
- 3 + 1 = 4
- 16 + 4 = 20
- 4 = 20
- 3 = X
- 60 / 4 = X
- 15 = X
- Therefore, as the error would be a difference of 1, the assumption could be mantained.
B)
- 3 + 1 = 4
- 160 + 40 = 200
- 150 = 3:1
- In this case, the difference will be bigger, showing that the ratio is not 3:1 but 4:1.
