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?)
Answer:
1 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a+s=14
a=14-s
a+8s=56, using a from above in this equation gives
14-s+8s=56
14+7s=56
7s=42
s=6
a=14-s
a=14-6=8
So student tickets cost $6 and adult tickets cost $8.
Answer:
-4 is the mimumum of y=-3+cos(x+4)
Step-by-step explanation:
The minimum value of y=cos(x) is -1.
The minimum value of y=cos(x+4) is still -1; the +4 inside the cosine function only affected the horizontal shift.
The minimum value of y=-3+cos(x+4) is -3-1 which is -4. This brought the graph down 3 units so if the minimum was previously -1 and it got brought down 3 units then it's new minimum is -4.
Answer:
5/24 or 20.8%
Step-by-step explanation:
Probability that the 7th grader is a boy = number of boys/(total kids) = 4/(4+4) = 1/2
Probability that the 8th grader is a boy = 5/(5+7) = 5/12
Probability that both are boys = 1/2*(5/12) = 5/24 or 20.8%
