A ratio of 5:7 means out of 12 books, 5 are in one category and 7 are in another. (The “category” isn’t specified in this problem.)
So here we’re STARTING with 36 books; we want to find a ratio that is equal to 5:7 and adds up to 36. Well 36 = 3(12), and so if we multiply each number in the ratio by 3 as well, we might get what we want. Doing that gives us 15:21, which adds up to 36 and is equal to 5:7. Boom, that’s the answer.
P.S. Here’s a question you can think about: why do ratios stay the same when you multiply each number by the same amount? (For example, why is 3:1 the same as 6:2?)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Splitting up the interval of integration into 
subintervals gives the partition
![\left[0,\dfrac1n\right],\left[\dfrac1n,\dfrac2n\right],\ldots,\left[\dfrac{n-1}n,1\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B0%2C%5Cdfrac1n%5Cright%5D%2C%5Cleft%5B%5Cdfrac1n%2C%5Cdfrac2n%5Cright%5D%2C%5Cldots%2C%5Cleft%5B%5Cdfrac%7Bn-1%7Dn%2C1%5Cright%5D)
Each subinterval has length 
. The right endpoints of each subinterval follow the sequence
with 
. Then the left-endpoint Riemann sum that approximates the definite integral is
and taking the limit as 
gives the area exactly. We have
Answer:
The answer would be 6 irises bloomed last year.
Step-by-step explanation:
let x represent the # of flowers bloomed last year
15% = .15
now just use the equation: quantity = % · whole and plug in the #'s
x = .15 · 40
which equals to x = 6
i hope this helps! :)
