Answer:
There are more than one way to do this:
Here's one way:
The least common multiple of 4 people and 3 people is 12 people.
12 people is 3 times as many people as 4 people, and
12 people is 4 times as many as 3 people.
Since 4 people take 6 days, 3 times as many people take only
one-third as long, or only 2 days. (since 2 is one-third of 6)
Since 3 people is only one-fourth as many people as 12, it will take
them 4 times as long as it would take 12 people, or 8 days. (since
4 times 2 is 8).
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 8 from 12
4 days
Answer:
13
Step-by-step explanation:
using c^2 = a^2 + b^2
whereas c is the length of the ladder
a is the top of the ladder
b is the distance from building
so c^2 = 12^2 + 5^2 = 144 + 25 = 169
c = 13
Y+Y+30=90
2Y=60 /:2
Y=30
PNQ=30°
QNO=30+30=60°
F(-1)=2*(-1)+2
f(-1)=2-2
f(-1)=0
A ratio of 5:7 means out of 12 books, 5 are in one category and 7 are in another. (The “category” isn’t specified in this problem.)
So here we’re STARTING with 36 books; we want to find a ratio that is equal to 5:7 and adds up to 36. Well 36 = 3(12), and so if we multiply each number in the ratio by 3 as well, we might get what we want. Doing that gives us 15:21, which adds up to 36 and is equal to 5:7. Boom, that’s the answer.
P.S. Here’s a question you can think about: why do ratios stay the same when you multiply each number by the same amount? (For example, why is 3:1 the same as 6:2?)
