First you distribute the 3
(3x-12) (x+5)=0
then you set each equation equal to zero
3x-12=0 & x+5=0
then you solve for x
x =4, -5
The answers are :
10) 25 : 24
11) 24 : 5
12) 36 : 5
13) 7 : 3
14) 15 : 1
<u>Ratio = Number of event 1 : Number of event 2</u> (in same unit, if necessary)
<u>10</u>
Girls preferring orange juice : Boys preferring orange juice
50 : 48 (Divide by 2 on both sides)
25 : 24
<u>11</u>
Boys preferring orange juice : Boys preferring grapefruit juice
48 : 10 (Divide by 2 on both sides)
24 : 5
Remember :
- <u>1 minute = 60 seconds</u>
- <u>1 week = 7 days</u>
- <u>1 hour = 60 minutes</u>
<u />
<u>12</u>
3 minutes : 25 seconds
3 × 60 : 25 (Divide by 5 on both sides)
3 × 12 : 5
36 : 5
<u>13</u>
2 weeks : 6 days
2 × 7 : 6 (Divide by 2 on both sides)
7 : 3
<u>14</u>
5 hours : 20 minutes
5 × 60 : 20 (Divide by 20 on both sides)
5 × 3 : 1
15 : 1
I got 27.5 for the mean
mean: you add up all the #'s and divide them my their quantity( in other words by how many numbers there are)
In your case you have 8 numbers, you add them and divide them by 8!
Hope it helps ;)
21000 people paid for general admission and 6000 paid for reserved seats. This is solved by making 2 equations. Out of 27000 people who were at game, x of them paid for general admission and y for reserved seats, thus
x + y = 27000
As said, daily receipts were 204000$. As reserved seat is 13$, y of them gave 13$ each (y*13$) and x of them gave 6 for general admission(x*6) and those two add up and we get second equation
13y + 6x = 204000.
This can be solved by transforming first equation into x = 27000 - y and then replacing the x in second.
13y + 6*(27000 - y) = 204000
13y + 162000 - 6y = 204000
7y = 42000
y = 6000
x + 6000 = 27000
x = 27000 - 6000 = 21000
