How do you work out Ratio problems involing simplifying?

1 answer:

5 0

Ok, so I'll make an example problem to show.

There's a forest in town and it's recorded that there are 5 bears and 100 squirrels in it.

First, you would make this a ratio so that would be 5:100. 5 being the bears and 100 being the squirrels.

To simplify it, just make it into a fraction. The first number, going from left to right, would be the numerator and 100 would be the denominator.

5
-----
100

To simplify, just divide by the greatest common factor which would be 5 in this case.

5 1
----- / 5 = ----
100 20

Sauron [17]

Answer:

He have 17 CDs on Monday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

On Tuesday James bought seven CDs. On Wednesday half of all the CDs that he had were destroyed. On Thursday he had 12 left.

Now, to find the CDs he have on Monday.

Let the CDs he have on Monday be $x.$

So, on Tuesday as James bought 7 CDs:

$x+7.$

Now, on Wednesday half of all the CDs that he had were destroyed:

$\frac{x+7}{2}$

As, given on Thursday he had left CDs = 12.

According to question:

$\frac{x+7}{2}$ $=12$

Multiplying both sides by 2 we get:

$x+7=24$

Subtracting both sides by 7 we get:

$x=17.$

Therefore, he have 17 CDs on Monday.

$a\sqrt3=5\sqrt3$ divide both sides by √3

$a=5$
