Answer:
5 should be subtracted from each term
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross multiply,
1 * (11 - x) = 2*(8-x)
11 -x = 2*8 - 2*x
11 - x = 16 - 2x
Subtract 11 from both sides,
-x = 16 - 2x - 11
-x = 5 - 2x
Add 2x to both sides
-x +2x = 5 - 2 + 2x
x = 5
There are 4 As and 3 Bs, so the ratio of Bs to the total number of As and Bs is ...
... (count of Bs) : (count of As + count of Bs)
... = 3 : (4 + 3)
... = 3 : 7
Expressed as a fraction, this is
... 3/7
1 4/5 is less than 9 because if have to count forward to get the answer for a greater than or less than question it is less than. If you have to count backward it is greater than (left to right). Hope I helped
