Answer:

FIRST NUMBER IS 20

AND

SECOND NUMBER IS 45

Step-by-step explanation:

LET THE RATIO BE X

FIRST NUMBER = 4X

SECOND NUMBER = 9X

A/Q,

=}4X - 5 / 9X - 5 = 3 / 8

CRISS CROSS,

=}8 ( 4X - 5 ) = 9X - 5 ( 3 )

=}32X - 40 = 27X - 15

=}32X - 27X = - 15 + 40

=}5X = 25

=}X = 25 / 5

=}X = 5

THEREFORE,

FIRST NUMBER

=} 4X

=} 5 × 4

=} 20

SECOND NUMBER

=} 9X

=} 5 × 9

=} 45

To solve this problem, first you have to use the order of operations stands for parenthesis, exponents, multiply, divide, add, and subtract from left to right. Remember to use the order of operations stands for "Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally."

Do parenthesis first.

$\displaystyle(8-6)=2$

$\displaystyle 5+4\times2^2$

Next, exponent.

$\displaystyle 2^2=2\times2=4$

$\displaystyle 5+4\times4$

Multiply & divide numbers from left to right.

Greta is trying to determine the portion of green candies in various bags of green and yellow candies. Using the information bel

IrinaK [193]

Answer: a) $\dfrac{1}{3}$ b) $\dfrac{71}{100}$ c) $\dfrac{5}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

There are green and yellow candies in each bag.

Bag A: Two thirds of the candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Part of yellow candies in bag A = $\dfrac{2}{3}$

Part of green candies in bag A would be

$1-\dfrac{2}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{3-2}{3}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{3}$

Bag B: 29 % of the candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Percentage of candies are yellow = 29%

Portion of candies are green is given by

$1-\dfrac{29}{100}\\\\=1-0.29\\\\=0.71\\\\=\dfrac{71}{100}$

Bag C: 4 out of every 9 candies are yellow. What portion of the candies is green?

Portion of yellow candies = $\dfrac{4}{9}$

Portion of green candies would be

$1-\dfrac{4}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{9-4}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{9}$

Hence, a) $\dfrac{1}{3}$ b) $\dfrac{71}{100}$ c) $\dfrac{5}{9}$

The price of Stock A at 9 A.M. was $14.83. Since then, the price has been increasing at the rate of $0.12 each hour. At noon

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

0.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the x be the number of hours after noon.

<u>We have the following equation:</u>

14.83 + 0.12(x + 3) = 15.33 - 0.15x
14.83 + 0.12x + 0.36 = 15.33 - 0.15x
0.12x + 0.15x = 15.33 - 15.19
0.27x = 0.14
x = 0.14/0.27
x ≈ 0.5
