Yes they are because if you simplify them both then they both equal 11:20
<span>so they are equivalent ratios.</span>
a) 24% said they wanted to learn french.
To find total number of students surveyed divide the number of students that want to learn French by the percentage:
12 / 0.24 = 50
There were 50 students surveyed.
b) 36% wanted to learn Spanish, multiply 50 by 36%
50 * 0.36 = 18
18 students wanted to learn Spanish.
Answer:
I think it would be 55+8x. I hope this helps. :)
Step-by-step explanation:
55 gallons of water
8 gallons per minute
It would be 55 gallons (the original amount in the tank) plus 8 gallons per minute. (8x)
x = how many minutes the tank is being filled up more.
so if you were to fill up the tank another 5 minutes, the equation would be 55+8(5)
55+40
95 would be the answer.
Answer:
x = -14
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
4(x + 2) = 3(x - 2)
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- Distribute: 4x + 8 = 3x - 6
- Subtract 3x on both sides: x + 8 = -6
- Subtract 8 on both sides: x = -14
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
4(-14 + 2) = 3(-14 - 2)
4(-12) = 3(-16)
-48 = -48
