Answer:

Unidentifiable.

Step-by-step explanation:

8 to 13 is +5. 13 to 6 is -7. 6 to -16 is -20. -20 to -49 is -19. -49 to -82 is -33.

There is no distinguishable pattern since the differences between the terms vary significantly and in unpredictable ways. Make sure to double check you've got all your numbers correctly. <3

The ratio of solid beads to clear beads in a vase is 820. Select all the correct statements that tell if the operations will giv

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

C, D and E

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent solid beads with S and clear beads with C

So:

$S:C = 8:20$

Required

Select operations that give an equivalent ratio

First, we need to get the unit ratio

$S:C = 8:20$

Divide through by 4

$S:C = 2:5$ -- This means that, after any operation. The equivalent ratio must be 2: 5

Option A: Add 2 to S and 2 to C

$S:C = 8:20$

Perform the operation

$S:C = 8 + 2 : 20 + 2$

$S:C = 10 : 22$

Divide through by 2

$S:C = 5:11$

Option B: Subtract 8 from S and 6 from C

$S:C = 8:20$

Perform the operation

$S:C = 8 - 8 : 20 - 6$

$S:C = 0 : 14$

Option C: Multiply S and C by 2

$S:C = 8:20$

Perform the operation

$S:C = 8*2:20*2$

$S:C = 16:40$

Divide through by 8

$S:C = 2:5$

Option D: Divide S and C by 4

$S:C = 8:20$

Perform the operation

$S:C = 8/2:20/4$

$S:C = 2:5$

Option E: Multiply S and C by 18

$S:C = 8:20$

Perform the operation

$S:C = 8*18:20*18$

$S:C = 144:360$

Divide through by 72

$S:C = 144/72:360/72$

$S:C = 2:5$

<em>From the calculations above, options C, D and E gave an equivalent of 2:5.</em>

Of 28 students taking at least one subject, the number taking Math and English but not History equals the number taking Math but

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The answer is 5 students taking English and Math but not History

Step-by-step explanation:

The total students are 28 which are divided into 5 possible groups with no students taking either English only or History only:

Taking Math only
Taking English and Math but not History
Taking Math and History but not English
Taking English and History but not Math
Taking triple subjects

The number of students in group 3 is 6. Hence, the total number in group 1, 2, 4 and 5 is: 28 - 6 = 22

Also, the number of students in group 4 is five times the number in group 5, therefore: group 2 + group 5 = 6 times group 5

Additionally, the number of students in group 1 equals that in group 2.

Hence, the equation is: 6 x group 5 + 2 x group 2 = 22 => group 2 = 11 - 3 x group 5 => group 2 = 5 because group 5 is an even number and non-zero, it must be 2.
