Hello there.
Question: <span>Mr. Nicolas is putting up strings of blue and white lights for the holidays. The ratio of blue to white lights is 5 to 6. If he has 77 strings, how many strings are white lights?
Answer: 5:6
Add the numbers:
5 + 6 = 11
Divide this number by the total:
77/11 = 7
Multiply values by this number:
5 x 7 = 35
6 x 7 = 42
To check:
35 + 42 = 77.
Therefore your answer is 42.
</span>Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck Studying ^-^
Answer:
The father is 50 and his son is 15.
Step-by-step explanation:
Double the tens digit of the father's age = 10
Plus 5 = 15 (the age of the son)
50 + 15 = 65 (the sum of their ages)
The reverse of the digits of the son's age is 51.
Subtract 1 = 50 (the age of the father)
Slot method
8 optionns n 1st slot
7 options in 2nd slot (since 1 is at 1st slot)
6 options in 3rd slot
5 options in 4th slot
8*7*6*5=1680 ways
This is a classic example of Scientific Notation.
5.3 x 10^5 actually equals 530,000
3.8 x 10^4 actually equals 38,000
Since it is asking for the sum of the numbers you are adding.
Your new equation look like this:
530,000 + 38,000
= 568,000
now all you have to do is count the decimal points. You start from the end zero and count the spaces in between until you get to the tenths place. (Right behind the first number) There are 5
So your answer will be:
B. 5.68 x 10^5.
