Answer:
The divisor and dividend have the same signs.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's look at all of the possible outcomes of dividing with different signs.
Positive / positive = positive
Positive / negative = negative
Negative / positive = negative
Negative / negative = positive
We can see that whenever the signs are the same, the quotient is positive.
Well, your ratio given is 18 to 4. so multiply both numbers (18 and 4) by some number and you will have an equivalent ratio.
example: if you had 2 times as many people, then an equivalent ratio would be 18*2 to 4*2 = 36 to 8
Answer:
slope = 3
y-intercept = -5
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b
m = slope; b = y-intercept
y = 3x - 5
y = 3x + (-5)
m = 3 = slope
b = -5 = y-intercept
If you assign variables to the problem, it can make things a lot simpler. Lets say chairs are x and tables are y. Therefore you have:
2x+6y=40
5x+3y=25
Now you can isolate the variable of one equation and put it into another (it doesn't matter which. I'm going to manipulate the top equation to plug into the bottom one).
2x=40-6y
x=20-3y
Now I plug into bottom equatioin:
5(20-3y) + 3y=25
100-15y+3y=25
100-12y=25
-12y=-75
y=$6.25
Now you can plug in y in either equation to get x.
2x+6(6.25)=40
37.5+2x=40
2x=2.5
x=1.25
So it costs $6.25 for each table and $1.25 for each chair. If you think about it, it would make sense for the table to cost more for the chair.
Answer:
He planted 44 fields do corn, and 22 each for wheat and grass.
Step-by-step explanation:
There are three subjects. If we have something that was 2x as much as wheat, and then something half as much as that, we know that the wheat and grass are equal. Then, you just need to think about how a 50 25 25 split would work out of 88.
