Answer:

Your answer should be 13

Step-by-step explanation:

You were given 25, so you need to work backwards. First, multiply the 25 by 3 to get 75. Then Add 6, and you end with 81. Afterwards, subtract 3 from 81 to get 78, then divide by 6 to get 13.

How do you simplify a fraction?
attashe74 [19]
You simplify a fraction by finding it's greatest common factor. A greatest common factor is what both numbers are divisible by. If they can both be divided by two, then you've simplified them a little bit. Keep going until you can't find a common number that can be divided by the two, and you've got your simplified fraction. For example, 10/5 = 1/2 since both 10 and 5 is divisible by 5.

Select all ratios equivalent to 15:5.<br> 9:3<br> 6:2<br> 3:1
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

All three.

Step-by-step explanation:

All three of these ratios are equivalent to 15:5. Here's how:

Let's look at the first ratio, 9:3. Did you notice something common? 3 x 3 = 9. 9/3 = 3. 5 x 3 = 15. 15/3 = 5. Both of these numbers are divisible by 3,  so these ratios are equivalent.

Second. 6:2. 2 x 3 = 6. 6/3 = 2. 5 x 3 = 15. 15/3 = 5. See the similarity? The same applies to the next problem, number three, although it does slightly differentiate.

Third, 3:1. See, here, since the ratio is smaller than the problem, we can't multiply, since this ratio is smaller than the original number. But, it's still the same thing. A ratio is a number that compares a value to another value. This means that 3:1 is 3 compared to one. Now, let me clarify. 15:5. 3:1. These are the exact same values, except they are just written in a different form, and simplified. Since 5 x 3 = 15, we know that we can divide 15 evenly by 5, which makes it 3, and divide 5 evenly by 5, which equals one. So here we have our answer for the third problem. 5:1.

Ratios are basically division, except simplified. Every single ratio problem works this way. Once you get the hang of it, it's immensely easy. Hope this helped!
