On number three how do u get the anser 15/4
Talja [164]

ration?  You deserve better from your teacher.

The ratio of auditorium to theater seats is

1200:320

That's a perfectly valid answer and we could stop here if we weren't asked for lowest terms.  Here I can see that 12 and 32 have a common factor of 4 and both these end in zero so 40 is a common factor:

1200:320 = 30:8

We can keep reducing by another factor of 2,

1200:320 = 30:8 = 15:4

There's our 15/4, which we get when we write the ratio as a fraction.

Answer: 15/4

--------------------------

This question implies a ratio is just a fraction, which it isn't.  Let's quickly note the differences.

A ratio can have zero on either side;  1:0 is a perfectly valid ratio but 1/0 is not a valid fraction.  A ratio can't be all zeros -- that's not allowed.

A ratio can have more than two numbers.  3:4:5 is a common ratio that gives rise to a right triangle.

Like fractions, ratios can be reduced:  For λ≠0,

λa : λb : λc = a:b:c

Kevin can mow the lawn in 1.5 hours. Together, Kevin and Eric can mow the lawn in 30 minutes. How long will it take Eric to mow
xeze [42]

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

These work problems are always done in terms of fractions ie if both (Kevin & Eric) took 30mins to mow and Kevin took 1.5hrs (90mins) alone then we can make an equation like below

1/time took for both = 1/time took for Kevin + 1/time took for Eric

1/30 = 1/90+1/x    ==> calling time took for Kevin x

solving the above 1/x = 1/30-1/90

1/x=2/90

x=45
