Given ratio: 5 (goats) : (to) 8 (sheep.)

The question asked that if Giles had 32 sheep, then how many goats would he have. We can figure out how many goats he would have by cross multiplying fractions.

5    z
-  x  -
8  32

To figure out the z variable, we simply cross multiply 5 and 32, which gets us 160. Now we divide it by 8. Whatever we get for z, that is our answer for goats. The answer would be <span>20.

How do we find the quadratic equation in standard form with the given roots of -1/3, 5?
Olin [163]
I think this is the answer. Because it doesn’t mention a leading coefficient but it’s a quadratic function so it would be
1(x-1/3)(x-5) and that should be your answer. The simplified version is down below
