Answer: Yes. They are thesame

Step-by-step explanation:

Of the 30 girls who tried out for the basketball team at Prescott Junior High, 12 were selected. In this scenario the ratio will be:

= 12/30

= 2/5

= 2:5

Of the 40 boys who tried out, 16 were selected. In this scenario, the ratio will be:

= 16/40

= 2/5

= 2:5

The ratio for both are thesame as we got 2:5 for both.

1-i need to mix 25% mineral spirits to the varnish i am using what ratio of spirit to varnish am i using? 2-if i use 240 ml of v
zhenek [66]

Answer:

(1) The required ratio of spirit to varnish is 1:3.

(2) You need 80 ml of mineral spirit.

(3) The ratio of tapestries' heights to width is 3:2.

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) If you need to mix 25% mineral spirit to the varnish, then the solution would contain 25% mineral spirit and 75% varnish.

So, \frac{spirit}{varnish}=\frac{25}{75}

                  =\frac{1}{3}

Thus, The required ratio of spirit to varnish is 1:3.

(2) If you use 240ml of varnish, then this quantity is 75% of the total solution or ration of varnish to the total solution will be 3:4.

Let x be the quantity of total solution.

Then, 240:x=3:4.

⇒\frac{240}{x}=\frac{3}{4}

⇒3x=240*4

⇒x=\frac{240*4}{3}

⇒x=320

That is, total solution is 320 ml.

Now, Spirit = Total solution - Varnish

⇒Spirit = 320ml-240ml

⇒Spirit = 80ml

Hence, if you use 240 ml of varnish, you need 80 ml of mineral spirit.

(3) Robison's tapestries all measure 1.5m long and 1m wide. First, we express dimensions in whole numbers by multiplying them by 10.

Then, dimensions are 15m long and 10m wide.

Now, Height : Width = 15:10

⇒\frac{Height}{Width} =\frac{15}{10}

⇒\frac{Height}{Width} =\frac{3}{2}

Hence, the ratio of tapestries' heights to width is 3:2.

Lee is comparing brands of juice. Brand A
maxonik [38]
<h3>Answer: 3 bottles of brand A</h3>

Explanation:

The pricing/cost information is not used in this problem. All we care about is the number of bottles, and how much each bottle can hold.

Brand A bottles hold 0.95 liters each. We bought 3 of these bottles, so 3*0.95 = 2.85 liters in total are purchased.

Brand B bottles hold 0.55 liters each. Buying 5 of them leads to 5*0.55 = 2.75 liters in total.

Going with the brand A option leads to more juice by 0.10 liters (subtract 2.85 and 2.75)
