Mathematics

kaheart [24]3 years ago

Answer:

A proportion is an equality of two ratios.

Example : \frac{1}{3} = \frac{x}{9}

​

We write proportions to help us find equivalent ratios and solve for unknown quantities.

A rate is the quotient of a ratio where the quantities have different units.

Example : \frac{distance}{time}

A ratio is a comparison of two quantities.

Example : 1 : 3 or \frac{1}{3}

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

First, we need to find the amount of dip that was divided amount the two friends.

We know that it is 4/7 of the left dip  

therefore:

amount divided among the two friends = (4/7) x (3/4) = 3/7 of the original amount of dip.

This amount is divided among two friends,

therefore:

amount that each friend gets = (3/7) / (2) = 3/14 = 0.2 of the amount of dip

Help due in 45 minutes!!
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

(14,-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

okay so first you need to use the "x=4y+10" in the first equation.

Rewrite as

3(4y+10) +11y=7

Distribute the 3(4y+10)

Rewrite as

12y+30

You'll have the equation

12y +30 +11y= 7

Subtract the 7 from both sides

12y+30+11y-7= 0

Combine like terms

23y+23=0

the best thing to do here is divide the equation by 23.

23/23 = 1

you'll have

y + 1 = 0

this simplifies to

y= -1

use this y value to solve for x

the easiest way to do this is start with the equation

x = 4y +10

Substitute the y for -1

x = -4(-1) +10

x = 4 +10

x = 14

the solution point is

(14,-1)
