hi I I'm the explanation
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?)
X = 1/3 yz
3x = yz
y = 3x/z
Answer:
D. 10 < x < 43
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+8 must be greater than 48, but less than 180.
48 < 4x + 8 < 180
40 < 4x < 172
10 < x < 43
Answer: 31.25%
Step-by-step explanation: To answer the question <em>what percent of 80 is 25</em>, we translate the question into an equation.
So we have "what percent" that's x, "of 80" means times 80, "is 25" = 25.
Now to solve for <em>x</em>, since <em>x</em> is being multiplied by 80, we need to divide by 80 on both sides of the equation. On the left side of the equation the 80's cancel and we have <em>x</em> and on the right side of the equation, we have 25 ÷ 80 which gives us 0<em>.</em>3125. Now, remember that we want to right our answer as a percent so to write 0.3125 as a percent, we move the decimal point 2 places to the right and we get 31.25%.
Therefore, 31.25% of 80 is 25.
