Answer:

  300

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of ratio units in 6:5 is 6+5=11, so each of those ratio units must stand for 550/11 = 50 detectives. Then the 6 ratio units of police detectives stand for 6·50 = 300 police detectives.

In a poultry farm, 50 hens give 200 eggs in 2 days. In how many days will 20 hens give 400 eggs?.
s344n2d4d5 [400]

The number of days is 10 if, in a poultry farm, 50 hens give 200 eggs in 2 days.

<h3>What is a fraction?</h3>

Fraction number consists of two parts, one is the top of the fraction number which is called the numerator and the second is the bottom of the fraction number which is called the denominator.

It is given that:

On a poultry farm, 50 hens give 200 eggs in 2 days.

It is required to find the number of days will 20 hens require to give 400 eggs:

Let x be the number of days:

(50×2)/200 = (20x)/400

x = 10

Thus, the number of days is 10 if, in a poultry farm, 50 hens give 200 eggs in 2 days.

The linear equation of the initial (red ) incline would be y = __x +__
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

y=\underline {1.5}x+\underline 0

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph,

The initial red incline is a straight line passing through the origin.

So, a straight line passing through the origin is of the form:

y=mx+0

Where, 'm' is the slope.

Now, the slope of a given as the change in y value to change in x value.

Consider the two end points of the red line (0, 0) and (4, 6).

The slope with two points (x_1,y_1)\ and\ (x_2,y_2) on the line is given as:

m=\frac{(y_2-y_1)}{(x_2-x_1)}

Plug in x_1=0,y_1=0,x_2=4,y_2=6. Therefore, slope is:

m=\frac{6-0}{4-0}\\m=\frac{6}{4}=1.5

Hence, the equation of the initial red incline is:

y=\underline {1.5}x+\underline 0
