So the ratio of boys to girls is 12:24.. now, is that an equivalent ratio as 2 boys for 4 girls? or 2:4? let's see.

you could start simplifying the 12/24 fraction by dividing by some common multiple, say 2, and get 6/12, then divide by 3 and get 2/4 and stop there.
then you'll notice that 12/24 is really 2/4 in disguise.
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Linear Combination Of Vectors
</u>
One vector
is a linear combination of
and
if there are two scalars
such as

In our case, all the vectors are given in
but there are only two possible components for the linear combination. This indicates that only two conditions can be used to determine both scalars, and the other condition must be satisfied once the scalars are found.
We have

We set the equation

Multiplying both scalars by the vectors

Equating each coordinate, we get



Adding the first and the third equations:


Replacing in the first equation



We must test if those values make the second equation become an identity

The second equation complies with the values of
and
, so the solution is

Answer:
There are 495 different ways to choose 4 pizza toppings from 12.
Step-by-step explanation:
12!/8!4! = 12*11*10*9/(4*3*2) = 11*9*5 = 495
Answer: x = -6
Step 1: 2x = 4x+8+4
Step 2: 2x-4x = 12
Step 3: -2x = 12
Step 3: x = -6
The nearest whole number of 6 10/12 is 7.
