Answer:
Your table might look something like this:
The dads steps:
3
6
9
12
15
18
Sons steps:
5
10
15
20
25
30
You can notice the pattern. If dad walks 3 steps, son walks 5. If dad walks another 3, son walks another 5. And so on. This means dad walks 12 steps when the sin walks 20 steps.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio is 3:5. This means dad wlaks 3 steps so son must walk 5 steps basically. So.......... You can now create the table. Y I just have to multiply or divide each side ( of the colon:) so. Whatever you do to one side, you do to the other side. If you x3 on one side, you do it to other. Same goes for division. In the 'table' I did above, I x2 to get 6 and 10. Then I took the 3 and the 5 again and timsed those by 3. You can also change the 6 and the 10. So:
3:5
Then x2
6:10
Then I take the top layer (you can either choose to change the top layer, or layer above as long as you do the same thing to each side. Remember, only x and ÷. No + or-.) and I x3
9:15
Then I could take 9 and 15 and x5
45:75
It's crazy that all these. Ratios mena the same thing! 45 steps from dad would take the son 75 steps. You can also divide the last ratio of 45:75 to find the one you started with, 3:5.
So you get the idea.
It is probably best to do what I did in the table in the answer part because I did a pattern. Take the top layer, and x2, then x3, then x4, ect. Rather then doing random things.
Dear Joanna243, what do you mean by a "negative fraction decimal". You can't have a fraction and a decimal at the same time. I'll solve it anyway. Take 1/3 and do 1÷3 to get approximately 0.33, then you plug the -3 with 0.33 to get -3.33
Let
x = loaves of bread
y = batches of muffins
You must make a system of two equations with two unknowns that describe the problem
3.5x + 2.5y = 17 --- (1)
0.75x + 0.75y = 4.5 --- (2)
Resolving we have
x = 6-y (from (2))
replacing in (1)
3.5 (6-y) + 2.5y = 17
21 - 3.5y + 2.5y = 17
y = 21-17 = 4
Then substituting in (2)
x = 6-y = 6-4 = 2
Answer
Helena could bake:
2 loaves of bread
4 batches of muffins
The volumetric mean radius of Mars is about 3389.5 km. We know that it's 13.7% of Neptune's mean radius, so we can write it down as:
3389.5 = 13.7% of x (where x is Neptune's radius)
3389.5 = 13.7% x
3389.5 = 137/1000x / * 1000 (both sides)
3389500 = 137x / ÷ 137 (both sides)
x = 24740.87591240876
x ≈ 24740.88
Answer: The mean radius of Neptune is about 24740.88 km.
it isn't the first 2 options
I'd say it's y=1/2x - 2
