4y - (3+y) is standard form is: 3y - 3
Remark
The trick here is to realize that you have to find the number both have in order to find the difference. That means you take (effectively) 3/8 and 5/8 to find out how much each of them has. The 8 stands for the 136
Step One
Find the number of stamps Alex has. Remember his ratio is the smaller so he will have 3/8
Alex = 3/8 * 136
Alex = 408/8 = 51
Step 2
Find the number that Freddy has.
The total is 136
<u>Formula</u>
Freddy = Total - Alex
Freddy = 136 - 51
Freddy = 85
<u>Check</u>
Let us see if 5/8 * 136 = 85
5*136/8 = 680 / 8 = 85 So your answers are correct.
Difference
Difference = 85 - 51 = 34 which is how many more stamps Freddy has than Alex.
Answer:
0.5%
Step-by-step explanation:
The prevalence rate shows the proportion of people that have a disease in a population and to be able to calculate it, you have to divide the number of people that have a disease by the population:
Prevalence rate=(5/1,000)*100
Prevalence rate=0.005*100
Prevalence rate=0.5%
According to this, the answer is that if there are five cases of H1N1 in the community of 1,000 people, the prevalence rate is 0.5%.
