Answer:

11 + x = -9

x = -20

Step-by-step explanation:

"The sum of eleven and a number" can be translated to: 11 + x, where 'x' is the unknown number.

$11 + x = -9\\\rule{150}{0.5}\\11 - 11 + x = -9 - 11\\\\\boxed{x = -20}$

The ratio of boys to girls in the gym was 4 to 5. How many boys were in the gym if there were 125 girls in the gym?

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

If there are 125 girls, and the ratio is boys to girls, then you can divide 125 by 5 to get the multiplication factor. This would be 25. Now you can multiply 25 by 4 to get how many boys were in the gym, which would be 100. To get back to your original ratio, you can divide 100/125 by 25 on top and bottom to get 4:5, or 4/5. :)

Julio bought 12 bulbs of jumbo garlic for $11.88. How many bulbs of jumbo garlic can Anjali buy if she has $3.96?

Molodets [167]

Answer:

Anjali can buy 4 bulbs of jumbo garlic if she has $3.96.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how many bulbs of jumbo garlic Anjali can buy with $3.96, we must first calculate the unit rate of the jumbo garlic. Julio buying 12 bulbs of jumbo garlic for $11.88 can be represented as:

$\frac{11.88}{12}$

Divide the fraction by $\frac{12}{12}$ to calculate the unit rate:

$\frac{.99cents}{1bulb}$

So if each bulb of garlic costs $0.99, which we can think of as being $1.00 at the moment, we could figure that Anjali's $3.96 would be closer to $4 than it is to $3, so let's multiply the unit rate by $\frac{4}{4}$ :
