yes

Step-by-step explanation:

because you can set them up as a fraction too. example;

2/3 is the same as 2:3, with which you can set equal to another thing and solve

They form a proportion when both of the ratios are equivalent.

An example: 3/15 and 1/5 is a proportion because the are equivalent.

The reason why they are equivalent is because if you cross multiply meaning doing 3*5 which equals 15 and 15*1 which equals 15 so basically you multiply the numerator by the other fractions denominator and do the same for the other side and see if the numbers are the same if they are not the same they are not a proportion if they are the same they are a proportion.

Hope this helps!

Find a number that is between 2/7 and 4/11 .

Furkat [3]

To answer this problem, one way is to use the calculator and add directly the two numbers and get the average between the two. The answer is 25/77. We can also get this number by getting the LCM of the denominators which is 77. 2/7 is equal to 22/77 while 4/11 is equal to 28/77. 0.5*(22 +28) is equal to 25. Hence the answer is 25/77.

Answer:

4:1 (I think)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write some equations first:

For both prices increasing by 20:

$\frac{x+20}{y+20} =\frac{5}{2}$

then we can use cross multiplication

2x+40=5y+100

For both prices decreasing by 5:

$\frac{x-5}{y-5} =\frac{5}{1}$

same here:

5y-25=x-5

Using substitution for 5y, we get: 5y=x+20

2x+40=5y+100

2x+40=x+20+100

x=80

plugging this in to the second equation:

5y-25=x-5

5y-25=80-5

5y-25=75

5y=100

y=20

therefore we get x:y=80:20

In a statistics class there are 18 juniors and 10 seniors; 6 of the seniors are females and 12 of the juniors are males. If a st

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

P(a junior or a senior)=1

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the probability is given by:

$P(A)=\frac{n(A)}{N}$

Where P(A) is the probability of occurring an event A, n(A) is the number of favorable outcomes and N is the total number of outcomes.

In this case, N is the total number of the students of statistics class.

N=18+10=28

The probability of the union of two mutually exclusive events is given by:

$P(AUB)=P(A)+P(B)$

Therefore:

P(a junior or a senior) =P(a junior)+P(a senior)

Because a student is a junior or a senior, not both.

n(a junior)=18

n(a senior)=10

P(a junior)=18/28

P(a senior) = 10/28

P(a junior or a senior) = 18/28 + 10/28

Solving the sum of the fractions:

P(a junior or a senior) = 28/28 = 1
