Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Knowing the information provided in the exercise, you need to find the Least Common Multiple (L.C.M) in order to solve it.
You can follow these steps:
1- You must descompose 2, 5 and 8 into their prime factors:

2- And finally, you must multiply the commons and non commons with the highest exponent:

Therefore, the answer is: 
2•14=28 which is the musicians
5•14=70 which would be the actors
The ratio would be 28:70
2.96 or 18.75 is the answer im leaning towards 2.96 though
Answer:
x = 45/17
Step-by-step explanation:
We can move all x to 1 side and all the numbers to another. You can add 8.7 on both sides and get that 2.3x = 0.8x + 4.5. Next, we subtract by 0.8x on both sides to get that 1.7x = 4.5, where we can then divide by 17/10 on both sides to get that x is equal to 45/10 * 10/17, so that means that x = 45/17.
Answer:
Length equals 16 and Width equals 4
Step-by-step explanation:
First let us create an equation. We can use L and W for length and width.
If the length is 4 times the width, then we end up with: L = 4W
It then says, " If its length were diminished by 6 meters and its width were increased by 6 meters, it would be a square."
Since a square has an equal length and width then we end up with:
L - 6 = W + 6
Knowing this we can just substitute the first equation into the second one leaving us with: 4W - 6 = W + 6
We then remove a W from both sides so that the right side is left with a 6, and add 6 to both sides to remove the -6 from the left one.
This leaves us with 3W = 12
W = 4, and if we put that into our first equation, L = 4W, then Length equals 16, and Width equals 4. We can check this by putting it into the 2nd equation. 16 - 6 = 4 + 6.
