The general equation is that for every red tile, there must be 12 blue ones.
Algebraically this is expressed as b = 12r where r is red and b is blue. Your teacher might like you to express it as y = 12x where y is blue and x is red. The meaning is the same.
For beginners it might be easier to say b = 12r. So if you have 15 reds then r = 15
b = 12 * r
b = 12 * 15
b = 180 blue tiles.
I believe it should be .3 because its rounded to the nearest tenth
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Alright so we are going to solve
5x ≥ 25 Divide both sides by 5
x≥5
Answer:
75% bigger
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the first number be x and the second be y.
So:

And:
-----30% less than x
Substitute
in 




Cross multiply

Make x the subject


So, the average is:




Rewrite as:

Express as percentage

This means that the average is 75% bigger than the second number
