So, let's look at the problem once again.
8%, or 8/100 of the bag were green jelly beans.
Let's see what we can do to find out a number of other jelly beans, not including the green ones.
We know that 92% of jelly-beans are not green.
92% is 11.5 times more than 8%
(92/8)
24 (or 8%) times 11.5 = 276
276 - number of jelly beans that are not green.
276 plus 24 = 300.
Answer: 300 jelly beans were in one bag.
Answer:
So any time you are multiplying something, you are making "groups of"
so 3 groups of 2 = 6, 4 groups of 3 = 12
But with decimals or fractions, because they are a value less than zero, the numbers become increasingly small instead of bigger, like standard multiplication.
So for example, 1 group of 1/2 = 1/2
2 groups of 1/4 = 1/2
and so on
hope this helps!
Given:
ratio of altitude height = 2/3
Required:
ratio of volume
Solution:
Assuming that the only difference that the cylinders has is the height, we can solve for the ratio of the volume.
The volume of a cylinder is equal to πr²×height.
ratio of volume = πr²×2/πr²×3
We cancel the pi and the r² since we assume that the cylinders have the same radius.By cancelling, we are left with:
ratio of volume = 2/3
(-10) + 3 = -(10 - 3) = -7
10 - 3 = 7
-7 ≠ 7
<em><u>FALSE</u></em>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:consecutive integers are represented by x, x+1 , so for this problem the greater one is represented by x + 1.
Now you need to translate the problem. the greater is seven less than 1/3 the smaller
---> x + 1 = (1/3)*x - 7 ---> now solve for x (the smaller) and x+1 (the greater)
***hint: to get rid of fractions in an equation you can always multiply EVERYTHING by the denominator , 3 in this case
