Variables are taken from the first letter of the color, ex: green = g.
Given:
r = g
2r = b = y
Total =42
So then:
r+ r + 2r + 2r = 42
6r = 42
r = 7
y = 2r
y = 2(7)
14 of the 42 pencils were yellow.
Answer:
x = 11/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Eliminate parentheses, add 16x, subtract 21.
7(3 -x) = 8(4 -2x) . . . . given
21 -7x = 32 -16x . . . . . eliminate parentheses using the distributive property
9x +21 = 32 . . . . . . . . add 16x
9x = 11 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 21
x = 11/9 . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by the coefficient of x
4:5
explanation-
Express the given ratios as fraction
4 : 5 = 4/5 and 2 : 3 =2/3
Now find the L.C.M (least common multiple) of 5 and 3
The L.C.M (least common multiple) of 5 and 3 is 15.
Making the denominator of each fraction equal to 15, we have
4/5 = (4 ×3)/(5 ×3) = 12/15 and 2/3 = (2 ×5)/(3 ×5) = 10/15
Clearly, 12 > 10
Now, 12/15 > 10/15
Therefore, 4 : 5 > 2 : 3.
The 1905 was 3.0 inches while 2004 was 4.2 inches since they are 1.2 apart and they add up to 7.2
