Answer:

There were 2747 yes votes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using proportions.

The ratio of yes votes to no votes was 5 to 3 .

This means that for each 5 + 3 = 8 votes, 5 were yes and 3 were no.

If there were 4395 total votes, how many yes votes were there?

For each 8 votes, we have 5 yes. How many yes votes were there in 4395 votes?

5 yes - 8 votes

x yes - 4395 votes

8x = 4395*5

x = 4395*5/8

x = 2747

There were 2747 yes votes.

The equation of a linear function: y = mx + b

x = y - 3 → y - 3 = x      <em>add 3 to both sides</em>

y = x + 3     <em>it's a linear function!</em>


y = x³ + 2 NOT, because we have x³

y = 6x² NOT, because we have x²

y = 2/(3x) NOT, because x is in denominator.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Astrid needs 280 tons of wood to build ships that can accommodate 2100 sailors

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, in this question, we want to know the amount of wood needed by Astrid to accommodate 2100 sailors.

From the question, we can see that 40 tons are needed to build a ship that can accommodate 300 sailors.

Now, we want to make a calculation for the amount of wood needed for 2100 sailors.

Let’s have it this way;

40 tons = 300 sailors

x tons = 2100 sailors

So mathematically,

x * 300 = 2100 * 40

x = (2100 * 40)/300

x = 280 tons of wood

We can see that 280 tons of wood are needed to build ships that can accommodate 2100 sailors
