For every 5 red = to 15 blue 5:15

Answer:

Option B. For every 5 red pens, there are 15 blue pens.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement expressed the ratio of the red pens to the total as 1 : 4.

This means that for every red pen in the box, there are 4 blue pens.

So, statement A is correct.

Let's skip B an look at other statements as well:

For C, the ratio will be 15 : 60 which translates to 1 : 4. So C is true.

Let's look at D.

This is an interesting one. The problem defines 18 as blue. So it means that 24 - 18 = 6

6 pens will be blue. Again 6 : 24 gives us 1 : 4. So D is true.

B gives us 5 : 24 which is not true.

Ricardo spends 8/9 hr. reading the paper. He spends 1/4 of the time reading world news and splits the remaining time equally bet
lapo4ka [179]
Total time spent reading is = 8/9 hour

He spends 1/4 of the time reading world news. That is =  1/4 * 8/9 =  2/9 hour

Splits the remaining time equally.  Remaining time =  8/9 - 2/9 =  6/9

Splitting it equally =  6/9  divided by 2 =  6/9  * 1/2 =  3/9  = 1/3

Time spent reading comic is = 1/3 hour

I hope this helps.

Dan's school is selling tickets to a play. On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 1 adult ticket and 6 student tickets
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

Let's define the variables:

A = price of one adult ticket.

S = price of one student ticket.

We know that:

"On the first day of ticket sales the school sold 1 adult ticket and 6 student tickets for a total of $69."

1*A + 6*S = $69

"The school took in $150 on the second day by selling 7 adult tickets and student tickets"

7*A + 7*S = $150

Then we have a system of equations:

A + 6*S = $69

7*A + 7*S = $150.

To solve this, we should start by isolating one variable in one of the equations, let's isolate A in the first equation:

A = $69 - 6*S

Now let's replace this in the other equation:

7*($69 - 6*S) + 7*S = $150

Now we can solve this for S.

$483 - 42*S + 7*S = $150

$483 - 35*S = $150

$483 - $150 = 35*S

$333 = 35*S

$333/35 = S

$9.51 = S

That we could round to $9.50

That is the price of one student ticket.
