Answer:
28
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's set the ratio as
7x : 9x
If you add all the states that border an ocean and do not, you will get 48 states (because Alaska and Hawaii are not part of the continental US, as they do not touch the "main" part of the country)
So, we can write this equation.
7x + 9x = 48
Simplify.
16x = 48
Divide both sides by 16.
x = 4
Now, find how many states border an ocean. In our ratio, the number of states that border an ocean was 7x. Substitute x = 4 into 7x
7 * x = 7 * 4 = 28
The number of states that border an ocean is 28.

Answer:
first box: 12
second box: 5.5
the boxes in chart in order is 12, 17.5, 23, 39.5
Step-by-step explanation:
I've done this before
The fraction 5/10 is the same as 50/100 because they are equivalent. It will take 10 group of 10 to get to the denominator 100, so it will take 10 groups of 5 in the numerator to make it equal.
The answer is 50/100.
Answer: there are 10 multiple choice questions and 15 short-answer questions
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of multiple choice questions in the test.
Let y represent the number of short-answer questions in the test.
If the test has 25 questions, it means that
x + y = 25
Multiple-choice questions are worth 2 points, and short-answer questions are worth 4 points. The test is worth a total of 80 points. It means that
2x + 4y = 80 - - - - - - - -1
Substituting x = 25 - y into equation 1, it becomes
2(25 - y) + 4y = 80
50 - 2y + 4y = 80
- 2y + 4y = 80 - 50
2y = 30
y = 30/2 = 15
x = 25 - y = 25 - 15 = 10
A. The number of multiple-choice questions plus the number of short-answer questions is 25.
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
x = root under 5/2
so it is real and irrational number
