The ratio of 1 3/4 to 2 1/2 is equal to the ratio of 14 to what number?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Lynna [10]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios, as follows:

  1 3/4         14

------------ = --------

  2 1/2           x

where x is the unknown number.

Converting the mixed numbers to improper fractions, we get:

7/4       14

------ = -----

5/2        x

Here there are two numerators and two denominators.  Multiplying all four quantities by 4 will remove some of the fractions:

 7        56

------ = -------

 10       4x

Cross multiplying, we get:

28 x = 560, or x = 20

If a printer prints 28 copies in 1 minute how many would it print in 3 minutes and 45 seconds?
Wittaler [7]

3minutes 45 seconds = 3 45/60 = 3.75 minutes

28 copies/ 1 minute = x copies/3.75 minutes

using cross products

28 * 3.75 = 1 * x

105 = x

We can print 105 copies in 3 3/4 minutes

URGENT PLEASE I NEED HELP AND KINDLY SHOW THE SOLUTION/S AS WELL :))

Answer:

1. Steve's age is 18 and Anne's age is 8.

2. Max's age is 17 and Bert's age is 11.

3. Sury's age is 19 and Billy's age is 9.

4. The man's age is 30 and his son's age is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let us assume that:

S = Steve's age now

A = Anne's age now

Therefore, in four years, we have:

S + 4 = (A + 4)2 - 2

S + 4 = 2A + 8 - 2

S + 4 = 2A + 6 .................. (1)

Three years ago, we have:

S - 3 = (A - 3)3

S - 3 = 3A - 9 ................................ (2)

From equation (2), we have:

S = 3A - 9 + 3

S = 3A – 6 …………. (3)

Substitute S from equation (3) into equation (1) and solve for A, we have:

3A – 6 + 4 = 2A + 6

3A – 2A = 6 + 6 – 4

A = 8

Substitute A = 8 into equation (3), we have:

S = (3 * 8) – 6

S = 24 – 6

S = 18

Therefore, Steve's age is 18 while Anne's age is 8.

2. Let us assume that:

M = Max's age now

B = Bert's age now

Therefore, five years ago, we have:

M - 5 = (B - 5)2

M - 5 = 2B - 10 .......................... (4)

A year from now, we have:

(M + 1) + (B + 1) = 30

M + 1 + B + 1 = 30

M + B + 2 = 30 .......................... (5)

From equation (5), we have:

M = 30 – 2 – B

M = 28 – B …………………… (6)

Substitute M from equation (6) into equation (4) and solve for B, we have:

28 – B – 5 = 2B – 10

28 – 5 + 10 = 2B + B

33 = 3B

B = 33 / 3

B = 11

Substituting B = 11 into equation (6), we have:

M = 28 – 11

M = 17

Therefore, Max's age is 17 while Bert's age is 11.

3. Let us assume that:

S = Sury's age now

B = Billy's age now

Therefore, now, we have:

S = B + 10 ................................ (7)

Next year, we have:

S + 1 = (B + 1)2

S + 1 = 2B + 2 .......................... (8)

Substituting S from equation (7) into equation (8) and solve for B, we have:

B + 10 + 1 = 2B + 2

10 + 1 – 2 = 2B – B

B = 9

Substituting B = 9 into equation (7), we have:

S = 9 + 10

S = 19

Therefore, Sury's age is 19 while Billy's age is 9.

4. Let us assume that:

M = The man's age now

S = His son's age now

Therefore, now, we have:

M = 3S ................................... (9)

Five years ago, we have:

M - 5 = (S - 5)5

M - 5 = 5S - 25 ................ (10)

Substituting M from equation (9) into equation (10) and solve for S, we have:

3S - 5 = 5S – 25

3S – 5S = - 25 + 5

-2S = - 20

S = -20 / -2

S = 10

Substituting S = 10 into equation (9), we have:

M = 3 * 10

M = 30

Therefore, the man's age is 30 and his son's age is 10.
