I think that the answer would be two triangles.
Answer:
16 years
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of years. The suburb population is growing at a rate of 5000 per year after x years, it can be represented by the equation:
320000 + 5000x
The city population is declining at a rate of 14000 per year after x years, it can be represented by the equation:
624000 - 14000x
The number of years for the city and suburb population to be equal can be gotten from:
320000 + 5000x = 624000 - 14000x
14000x + 5000x = 624000 - 320000
19000x = 304000
x = 304000 / 19000
x = 16
In 16 years the populations of the suburb and the city be equal
Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
Red : Blue :
3 8
We have 40 blue marbles
Multiply 8 by what to get 40
40/8 =5
So we need to multiply by 5
Red : Blue :
3*5 8*5
15 40
There are 15 red marbles
If a 12 oz bottle of shampoo lasted for 16 weeks, we have a ratio of 12:16 which can be shortened to 3:4.
Now if we have 18 oz bottle we know that it's 1/2 more than 12 oz bottle, so the ratio will be also 1/2 more. So if it was 12:16, the new ratio will be:
12 + (1/2 * 12) : 16 + (1/2 * 16)
12 + 6 : 16 + 8
18 : 24
It means that 18 oz bottle should last for 24 weeks. Of course the ratio has to stay the same in its lowest form in both situations and as 18:24 can be shortened to 3:4, it proves it's correct :)
