Answer:

Answer to the 1st question is: 16/9 or 16:9 (whichever form you use)

Answer to the 2nd question is: 7/9 or 7:9

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Key skills needed: Number theory, Ratios, and Fractions</u>

1) Let's look at the first question. A ratio is usually a number of something over a number of another thing. One such example is 5 apples : 4 oranges (or 5 apples/ 4 oranges - whichever form you write in).

  1. Based on that let's look at the first problem. We want to find the ratio of all the marbles in the bag to the blue marbles. So it would be --> the total # of marbles over the number of blue marbles.
  2. The total number of marbles is 7+9= 16. This would be our <u>first number, or the numerator. </u>
  3. The number of blue marbles is 9. This would be our <u>2nd number, or the denominator of the ratio.</u>
  4. With this information --> The ratio would be 16/9 or 16:9                                              

2) Now let's look at the 2nd question. The number of red marbles to the number of blue marbles is the ratio we need to find.  

  1. The number of red marbles is 7. This would be our first number or the numerator.
  2. The number of blue marbles is 9. This would be our second number or the denominator.
  3. Therefore, the ratio would be --> 7/9 or 7:9

For every 24meals Momoka prepared for customers last night, she prepared 2 meals for employees. Momoka prepared 156 meals.
Olenka [21]

Answer:

144 meals for customers and 12 meals for employees.

Step-by-step explanation:

156/24=6.5

6 x 24 =144

156-144=12

It adds up to be simple numbers, if it didn't it would make sense. For example, she wouldn't serve 6 and a <u>half</u> people. She would serve either 6 people or 7 people. She wouldn't serve 11.3973043 meals. She would serve either 11 meals or 12 meals.

PLEASE HELP LOTS OF POINTS!!!!!!!! TWO QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!
zubka84 [21]

Answer: Number one would be 3x+2y+-14 and x+y=-4, second one is x=-3, y=7

Step-by-step explanation:

The first one is solved by inputting the x and y in each one and finding which one comes out true, the second on is solved by substitution. to find x you would subtract x in the first equation and make it y=4-x then input that equation in the y in the second equation.

Which number are greater then 0.3?
Lorico [155]
0.39,0.4. I got these answers because 0.39 has an extra digit the 0.3 so 0.3 becomes 0.30 and 0.39 is bigger than it. 0.4 is greater than 0.3 because the 4 in 0.4 is greater than 0.3. Hope This Helped :D
