Answer:

  6 : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of the ratio values is 3×2 = 6. This means the two numbers will have a GCF of 12/6 = 2. So, the two numbers are ...

  3×2 : 2×2 = 6 : 4

_____

I think of GCF and LCM problems in terms of a "diagram" that looks like this:

  (a [ b ) c ]

That is, the two numbers can be written in a form such that one is (a·b), the other is [b·c], their greatest common factor is b, and their least common multiple is a·b·c.

The ratio of the two numbers would be a : c. The product ac differs from the LCM by a factor of b, the GCF. Of course, b = abc/(ac), which is how we got the above answer.

Lynna [10]
Ok so the constant is 3:2 so if we do x for women then it would be x:40. To find x we do 40/2 which is 20 so then you multiply 20 to 3 to get the amount of women for every 40 men which is 60 women
B)60
40:60
I hope that helps

Explain what terms and degrees are and how. How are they used to classify polynomials? Also explain why this polynomial (4x2y +
user100 [1]
When a polynomial has more than one variable, we need to look at each term. Terms are separated by + or - signs. Find the degree of each term by adding the exponents of each variable in it. <span>The degree of the polynomial is found by looking at the term with the highest exponent on its variables.
</span>
Polynomials can be classified in two different ways - by the number of terms and by their degree. A monomial is an expression with a single term. It is a real number, a variable, or the product of real numbers and variables. A polynomial is a monomial or the sum or difference of monomials. A polynomial can be arranged in ascending order, in which the degree of each term is at least as large as the degree of the preceding term, or in descending order, in which the degree of each term is no larger than the degree of the preceding term. 

The polynomial (4x^2y + 5xy) is classified as a 3rd degree binomial, because the monomial 4x^2y has degree equal to 3 and the monomial 5xy has degree equal to 2. The highest degree is 3, therefore the polynomial (4x^2y + 5xy) is classified as a 3rd degree polynomial. Since polynomial <span><span> (4x^2y + 5xy)</span> has two terms, then it is classified as binomial.</span>

How do you combine like terms of -8(r-2) + 6(r-2) ??? Will mark brainliest if the answer is right.
solmaris [256]

Answer:

-2r+4

Step-by-step explanation:

-8(r-2)+6(r-2)

Distribute:

(-8)(r)+(-8)(-2)+(6)(r)+(6)(-2)\\-8r+16+6r+-12

Combine like terms:

(-8r+6r)+(16+-12)\\-2r+4

-2r + 4 is your answer.
