Answer:
16 pieces of spearmint gum
Step-by-step explanation:
For every five pieces of peppermint gum, there are 2 pieces of spearmint gum.
First, divide the total number of peppermint gum by 5:
40/5 = 8
Multiply this number by 2 (pieces of spearmint) to get the number of spearmint gum pieces:
8 x 2 = 16
Proof:
Ratio is 40 : 16, dividing this by 8 will reduce the ratio to 5:2
Answer:
10
Step-by-step explanation:
We know there are 5 quarts.
There are 2 pints for each quart.
This can be though of as a ratio of:
2 : 1
There are 5 quarts, which is 5 times bigger than the ratio of 1.
So this means we need to mutliply both sides of the ratio by 5, to make the quarts equivelent to 5:
2*5 : 1*5
=
10 : 5
So for every 5 quarts there are 10 pints.
Hope this helps!
Rearrange the equation to get:
y = 3x - 7
From this you can see that:
m = 3, b = -7
Answer:
x = -7 1/6
Step-by-step explanation:
x + 4 1/3 = -2 5/6
x = -7 1/6
