Answer:

m = 3 , n = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Using Section Formula.</u>

<u />If \ the \ line \ segment \ AB \ where  \ A = (x _1, y_1) \ and \ B = (x_2, y_2) \ divided \ by \ P =(x , y) \ in \ the \ ratio \ a : b,\\\\Then \  the \ points \  of \  P  \ \\\\x = \frac{ax_2 + bx_1}{a+b} \ and \ y = \frac{ay_2 + by_1}{a+b}<u />

   Here (x_1 , y_ 1 ) = ( -7 , 1 ) \ and \ (x_ 2 , y _ 2 ) = (m , 6)\\\\ratio\ a:b  = 3 : 2\\\\Therefore, P (x, y) \\\\x = \frac{3m + (2\times -7)}{5} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ [ \ x =  -1 \ ] \\\\-1 = \frac{3m - 14}{5}\\\\- 5 = 3m - 14\\\\-5 + 14 = 3m\\\\9 = 3m \\\\m = 3<u />

  y =\frac{3\times 6 + 2 \times 1}{5}\\\\n = \frac{18 + 2}{5} = \frac{20}{5} = 4

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Milford location has a higher ratio of hamsters to gerbils.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A pet supply chain called Pet City has 5 hamsters and 10 gerbils for sale at its Lanberry location.

At its Milford location, there are 13 hamsters and 16 gerbils.

Now, to find the location who has a higher ratio of hamsters to gerbils.

Ratio of hamsters to gerbils at Lanberry location = 5:10.

=\frac{5}{10}=0.50

                                                                         

Ratio of hamsters to gerbils at Milford location= 13:16.

=\frac{13}{16} =0.8125

                                                       

<em>So, 0.8125 > 0.50.</em>

<em>Thus, </em><u><em>13:16 > 5:10.</em></u><em> </em>

Therefore, Milford location has a higher ratio of hamsters to gerbils.

Mika bought 9 rolls of film to take 180 pictures on a field trip. Some rolls had 36 exposures and the rest had 12 exposures. How
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The number of each type Mika bought =x = 6.8 rolls; y= 2.2 rolls.

<h3>Calculation using ratio</h3>

The number of rolls of film Mika  bought =  9 rolls

The number of rolls that had 36 exposures = x

The number of rolls that had 12 exposures = y

The total number of exposures = 36 + 12 = 48

To find the exposure by one roll = 48/9 = 5.3

If one roll = 5.3 exposure

    x roll    = 36 exposure

Make x roll the subject of formula,

x roll = 36/5.3 = 6.8 rolls

  • If one roll = 5.3 exposure

    y roll    = 12 exposure

Make y roll the subject of formula,

y = 12/5.3 = 2.2 rolls

Therefore, the number of each type Mika bought = x = 6.8 rolls; y= 2.2 rolls.
