Let the no. of pencils be x,

= 5/3 = 15/x

Do cross multiplication

= 5x = 15 × 3

= x = 45/5

= x = 9

No of pencils = 9

Answer:

9 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the ratio is 5:3 and its pens to pencils. So, every 5 pens have 3 pencils. Now Jose has 15 pens, so his pen supply triples. therefore his pencil supply must also triple. So 3x3=9.

The first shape is 6 and 12. The two shapes are similar to each other, so the other shape must be 1 and 2. 6 divided by 6 is 1 so 12 divided by 6 is 2.

If a2= 18 and a4= 8, find two possible common ratios. Then, write two sequences lhaving five terms each.
Marizza181 [45]

common ratio = a4/a3 = a3/a2

8/a3 = a3/18

(a3)^2 = 8 * 18

(a3)^2 = 144

a3 = 12 or a3 = -12

common ratio = 8/12 or common ratio = 8/(-12)

common ratio = 2/3 or common ratio = -2/3

Answer: 12 or -12
