Answer:

45 old houses

Step-by-step explanation:

new houses : old houses

3 : 9

15 : ?

(3 = 1st ratio and 9 = 2nd ratio)

To find the missing ratio, divide the first ratio from the new ratio:

15 / 3 = 5

Take the product and multiply that by the second ratio to find the missing ratio:

9 x 5 = 45

Answer:

45 old houses

Step-by-step explanation:

What I did:

I divided 15 by 3, to get an idea of the 'scale' which gives us 5

for every 9 old houses, we have 3 new ones; so to scale be multiply the base number by our "scale" number, 5.

3 * 5 = 15 new houses

8 * 5 = 45 old houses

I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST IN 5 MINUTES!<br> solve this and explain
miskamm [114]

Answer:

no, it's not.

Step-by-step explanation:

300- 284 = 16

284 - 236 = 48

236 - 156 = 80

156 - 44 = 112

for every one the top line goes up, the bottom line changes too, but it's not at a constant rate. it's not constant, therefore it cannot be linear.

the rate of change formula (or slope formula, they're the same thing) is :

y2- y1/ x2 -x1 and to solve it you plug in the points. x is the same a t and y is h

284-300/ 1-0

-16 /1

-16 (this is the rate of change between the first two points)

236- 284/ 2-1

-48/ 1

-48 (rate of change between the second and third points)

since the rate of change isn't constant, it's not possible for it to be a linear relationship.

Create an equation from the model that describes the relationship between the weights on each side of the scale. Enter the corre
miskamm [114]
Combining the operations
The allowed operations are:

Add the same amount to both sides (either x's or ones)
Subtract the same amount from both sides (either x's or ones)
Multiply both sides by the same number (but not by zero)
Divide both sides by the same number (but not by zero)
(There are others, too, but they are not needed in simple equations.)

The goal is to FIRST add and subtract until we have ONLY x's (blocks) on one side and ONLY ones (circles) on the other. Then, if you have more than one block, you need to divide so as to arrive to the situation with only one block on the one side, which is the solved equation!
