2Decrease R420 in the ratio 4:7​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Oxana [17]3 years ago
4 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the numbers are 4x and 7x. According to the question if each number is increased by 20, the ratio becomes 7 : 9.

Then,

( 4x + 20 ) : ( 7x + 20 ) = 7 : 9

9( 4x + 20 ) = 7( 7x + 20 )

9( 4x ) + 9( 20 ) = 7( 7x ) + 7( 20 )

9( 20 ) - 7( 20 ) = 7( 7x ) - 9( 4x )

2( 20 ) = 49x - 36x

40 = 13 x

40 / 13 = x

Therefore, number are :–

4 x = 4( 40 / 13 ) = 160 / 13

7 x = 7( 40 / 13 ) = 280 / 13

Please help me on Mathematics
amm1812

Answer:

1. 20 km/hr (60km / 3h)

2. 70 m/hr (170m / 2h)

3. 6.5 hr (260cm / 40km)

4. 4.5 s (72cm / 16cm)

5. 184 km (46km * 4h)

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll use d = distance, t = time, s = speed.

Speed over time can be found by dividing distance by time

s = d / t

We can take this formula and manipulate it to find either distance or time if we know two of the values. Keeping in mind division and multiplication cancel each other.

If we wanted to find d for instance we can multiply both sides by t to get

s * t = d

For time we can divide both sides of the above formula by s to get

t = d / s

What do the differences between the points (as shown on the graph) represent?
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

They represent the rise and run of the graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the x-axis of the points represents the "run" of the graph (or how much you should run along x-axis to get to the next point.)

The difference between the y-axis of of the points represents the "rise" of the graph (or how much you should rise up the y-xis to get to the next point).

The ratio of rise to run is the slope of the graph, which tells us  how many steps should we take on the y-axis for every step we move forward on the x-axis.
