Answer:

6.666  or 6 2/3   and  9. 333  or 9 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

5+7 = 12 so 1 part is 1

16/12 = 1.333.. = 1 1/3   1 part is changed when the total is higher

5 x 1  1/3 = 6.666  6 2/3

7 x 1  1/3 = 9. 333  = 9 1/3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A and B stand for the two numbers.

A + B = 16

A/B = 5/7

Rearrange the first and substitute:

A = 16-B

(16-B)/B = 5/7

(16-B) = 5B/7

5B/7 = (16-B)

5B = 7(16-B)

5B = 112 - 7B

12B = 112

B = 9.3333 or 9 1/3

A = (16 - 9.333) or (16 - 9 1/3)

A = 6.6667 or 6 2/3

A + B = 16?

9 1/3 + 6 2/3 = 16  YES

A/B = 5/7 ?

(6 2/3)/(9 1/3) = (20/3)/(28/3) = (20/3)*(3/28)

= (20/28) = 5/7  YES

A famous study examined the smoking habits of British doctors and whether or not the doctors developed various types of cancers.
Ainat [17]

Answer:

A prospective study

Step-by-step explanation:

A prospective study watches for outcomes, such as the development of a disease (in this case cancer). It also usually involves taking a group of subjects and watching them over a long period of time. The outcome of interest should be common between them (whether certain smoking habits lead to the development of cancer in British doctors).

To solve problem 1 what you need to do is figure out how many miles the girls have walked so far and then subtract that from the total distance they must complete.

3/4-(3/10+1/4)

Step 1:Change the denominators so that way they are all the same

3/4=15/20
3/10=6/20              15/20-(6/20+5/20)
1/4=5/20

Step 2: Begin solving the problem

6/20+5/20=11/20
15/20-11/20=4/20

Step 3: Simplify your answer

4/20=1/5

Step 4 (is optional): Write your answer in a complete statement
