Answer:

1. 3

3. 10

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Write a proportion by writing each ratio as a fraction and setting the fractions equal. A proportion is an equation where two ratios are equal to each other. Then cross multiply denominator and numerator of each fraction to solve.

\frac{n}{.5} = \frac{6}{1}\\  1*n = 0.5*6\\n = 3

2. Repeat same process as #1.

3. The ratio of girls to boys is 3:2. There are 15 girls. write a proportion to solve using b as the number of boys.

\frac{3}{2} = \frac{15}{b}\\  3*b = 2*15\\3b = 30 \\ b = 10

There are 10 boys.

Answer:

1. n = 3

2. b = 9

3. C) 25

4. A) 6 to 13

5. D) 2/d= c/5

Step-by-step explanation:

1. n is proportional to 1/2 and 6 is proportional to 1, then:

n/6 = (1/2)/1

n = 3

2. 1/4 is proportional to 1 1/4 and 2 is proportional to b, then:

(1/4)/2 = (1 1/4)/b

b = (1 1/4)/[(1/4)/2]

b = 9

3. The next proportion must be satisfied:

(3 girls)/(2 boys) = (15 girls)/(x boys)

x = 15*2/3

x = 10 boys

total students: 15 girls + 10 boys = 25

4. There are 12 adults + 14 students = 26 people in the trip. Then, 12 adults to 26 people, dividing by 2, 12/2 = 6 adults to 26/2 = 13 people

5. Given 2d = 5c

dividing by 5 and by d at both sides: 2/5= c/d

dividing by 2 and by c at both sides:  d/c = 5/2

dividing by d and by c at both sides:  2/c = 5/d

What is -x/3 = 9. Solve for x
vlada-n [284]

Note: I just noticed that you only have one negative sign. If you mean to put -9, change the sign to positive. If not, leave the answer.

Note the equal sign. what you do to one side, you do to the other. Isolate the x. First, multiply 3 to both sides

-x/3(3) = 9(3)

-x = 9(3)

-x = 27

Next, to isolate the x, divide -1 from both sides

-x/-1 = 27/-1

x = 27/-1

x = -27

-27 is your answer for x.

hope this helps

Answer:

1. Angle Relationship: Alternate Exterior Angles

2. Angle Relationship: Same side Interior angles

3. Angle Relationship: Corresponding angles

Step-by-step explanation:

Alternate Exterior Angles are angles that are outside of the parallel lines and  are opposite of each other.

Same side Interior angles are angles that are inside the parallel lines and are on the same side of a transversal.

Corresponding angles are angles that are in the same matching corners.

Hope this helps! :)

2/5 of a number is 14. What's the number?
adelina 88 [10]
<span>Let x be the number. By the given above, the relationship between the numbers and the newly-introduced variable is expressed as (2/5)(x) = 14. To determine the value of x, divide 14 by 2/5. This will give us the answer which is equal to 35. Hence, the answer to this item is 35. </span>
