the answer is 7 because all of the other numbers opposites aren't negative
If the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles in a jar is 3 to 8, the meaning is for every 3 red marbles there are 8 blue marbles.
3 red marbles------------------8 blue marbles.
ratio=3/8
we have 40 blue marbles; we have to compute the number of red marbles.
1) Method 1; by the rule three.
3 red marbles-----------------8 blue marbles
x----------------------------------40 blue marbles
x=(3 red marbles * 40 blue marbles) / 8 blue marbles=15 red marbles.
answer: B. 15
Method 2: the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles is
ratio=number of red marbles / number of blue marbles
ratio=3/8
if we want to compute the number of red marbles we have to multiply the number of blue marbles by this ratio.
number of red marbles=ratio (red/blue)* number of blue marbles
number of red marbles=(3/8)*40=15
Answer: B.15
Answer:
No, you are not correct.
It should look like this:
Prefer colorful decorations Prefer neutral decorations
Pay attention 20 25
to fashion
Do not pay
attention to 72 33
fashion
Step-by-step explanation:
33 is 22% of 150. In the question it states that 70% of people do not pay attention to fashion. We need to find the other 48% here. In order to do that we multiply .48 by 150. That gets us 72. To check that answer you can add both 72 and 33 and then divide by 150, which gets 70%.
To get the amount of people that prefer neutral decorations and pay attention to fashion we need to add up 20 + 72 + 33 and that equals 125. Next, we take 150 and minus 125 of it to get 25.

2 3/8 / 1 1/4
= 19/8 / 5/4
=19/8 * 4/5
= 19/10
answer is B 19/10
