7 0

Answer: 6,924‬ votes

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of yes to no votes was 7 to 5.

This means that for every 7 yes votes, there were 5 no votes.

If there were 2,885 nos, the number of yeses can be gotten using direct proportion:

7 : 5

x : 2,885

Cross multiplying would give:

5x = ‭20,195‬

x = 20,195/5

x = ‭4,039‬ yes

Total votes would be:

= ‭4,039‬ + 2,885

= ‭6,924‬ votes

The area of a patio is 72 square feet. The length of the patio is 1 foot longer than the width. What is the width of the patio?
mote1985 [20]
I know there must be an equation to do this, but there is a simpler way.
Just factor number 72 into two numbers which, when multiplied, equal 72. Two of such numbers are 9 and 8, and you can see that the difference between those two numbers is just 1. So that is the answer to your question - the length of the patio is 9 feet, whereas the width is 8 feet.

Please help me <br> Find f(-4)
Katyanochek1 [597]
As x < 3, you would use the equation x^{2} -5
Plus in -4 for X and you would get (-4)^{2} -5
(-4)^{2} is equal to 16.
16-5=11&#10;
f(-4)=11

dusya [7]
So he started with 3/4 lb and ended up with 2/3 of that so 2/3 of 3/4

'of' can be roughly translated as multiply

so 2/3 times 3/4 =6/12=1/2 lb left

or you know that there are 3 out of 4 parts pound left so 2 out of 3 parts of nuts is = 2/4 or 1/2 lb
