2 answers:

4:5
explanation-

Express the given ratios as fraction

4 : 5 = 4/5 and 2 : 3 =2/3

Now find the L.C.M (least common multiple) of 5 and 3

The L.C.M (least common multiple) of 5 and 3 is 15.

Making the denominator of each fraction equal to 15, we have

4/5 = (4 ×3)/(5 ×3) = 12/15 and 2/3 = (2 ×5)/(3 ×5) = 10/15

Clearly, 12 > 10

Now, 12/15 > 10/15

Therefore, 4 : 5 > 2 : 3.

What is −5x+2y=9 y=7x

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

x=1, y= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

−5x+2y=9

y=7x

Substitute the second equation in for the first

-5x +2(7x) = 9

-5x + 14x = 9

Combine like terms

9x = 9

Divide by 9

9x/9 = 9/9

x =1

Now find y

y = 7(1)

y =7

If 4 apples and 2 oranges equals $1 and 2 apples and 3 oranges equals $0.70, how much does each apple and each orange cost? (Can

makvit [3.9K]

Ok so 4 apples and 2 oranges are $1. That means that the equation should be 4x+2y=100 (since there are 100 cents in a $1) so x would be the apples and y would be the oranges. If you solve it out the apples would be .25 each and the oranges would be .50 each
