Answer:
D. 12/27
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratios are just like fractions
12 ÷ 3 = 4
27 ÷ 3 = 9
4/9 is 12/27 simplified by 3
Answer:
a=-8/5
Step-by-step explanation:
(-1/2a-5)=3a+1
To find the opposite of 1/2 a−5, find the opposite of each term.
-1/2a-(-5)= -3a+1
The opposite of −5 is 5.
-1/2a+5=-3a+1
add 3a to both sides
-1/2a+5+3a=1
Combine-1/2and 3a to get 5/2a
5/2a+5=1
Subtract 5 from both side
5/2a=1-5
Subtract 5 from 1 to get −4.
5/2a=-4
Multiply both sides by 2/5 =0.4, the reciprocal of 5/2=2.5.
a=-4x(2/5)
express -4x(2/5)=1.6 as single fraction.
a= -4x2/5
Multiply −4 and 2 to get −8.
a=-8/5
Fraction −8/5 ≈−1.6 can be rewritten as −8/5 =−1.6 by extracting the negative sign.
a=-8/5
he ratio of 3:1 involves 4 units. 3 men +1 woman.
Find how many people each unit represents:
4units 2476 people
Therefore each unit represents 2476/4 = 619 people per unit
Now, take the ratio, and multiply up:
3:1 => 3619:1619 => 1857:619 You check this is right by adding the two fractions:
1857 men + 619 women = 2476 people therefore, we are correct
The number of men more than women = Number of men - Number of women
= 1857-619 = 1238 and that is your answer
Answer:
1 /2
Step-by-step explanation:
Sample space of number cube : (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
Odd numbers on cube : (1, 3, 5) = 3 odd numbers
Since each roll of number cube is independent, the number of times it has landed between fire does not matter :
Therefore, probability of landing on a odd number is :
P = required outcome / Total possible outcomes
P = 3 / 6
P = 1/2
