Radda [10]2 years ago

Answer:

y : x: = 5 : 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x to y = 4 to 5

Rewrite;

x:y = 4:5

Remember, a ratio is another way of representing a fraction, hence one can do the same operations that one could do with a fraction. Therefore, one can take the cross products of a ratio;

x : y= 4 : 5

5x = 4y

Inverse operations;

5x = 4y

x = \frac{4}{5}y

Now substitute this into the equation y:x

y : \frac{4}{5}y

Rewrite as a fraction;

\frac{y}{\frac{5}{4}y}

Simplify;

\frac{1}{\frac{4}{5}}\\\\\frac{5}{4}

Rewrite as a ratio;

y : x = 5 : 4

A carpenter makes legs for 3-legged stools and 4-legged tables. He makes a total of 57 legs.
Viefleur [7K]
4 legged tables : x 3 legged stools : y x + y = 20 y= 20 - x 4x + 3y = 68 Replace y by 20 - x so we only have one letter 4x + 3(20 - x) =68 4x + 60 - 3x =68 x + 60 = 68 x = 8 To find y replace x by 8 y = 20 - 8 y = 12 So you have 8 four legged chairs and 12 three legged stools. Hope I helped!
