Its hard to explain. Hmm lets see...okay so -1/4 is a quarter of -1 also -25%. so lets think of -1 to be -100% makes sense? and its opposite is mirrored on the number line. Hope that helped

A furniture company makes large and small chairs. A small chair takes 20 minutes of machine time and 60 minutes of labor to buil

bixtya [17]

Answer:

30 small chairs and 24 large chairs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the numbers of small chairs and large chairs built in a day. Then the relations for using available time are ...

20x +50y = 30×60

60x +90y = 66×60

Removing common factors, these can be written in standard form as ...

2x +5y = 180

2x +3y = 132

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...

2y = 48

y = 24 . . . . . divide by 2

Using the first equation to find x, we have ...

2x +5(24) = 180

2x = 60 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 120

x = 30 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The company can build 30 small chairs and 24 large chairs in a day.

What is the ratio a:b if 8a=3b?

Digiron [165]

The ratio a:b is 3:8

Step-by-step explanation:

In simple words, the ratio a:b means the fraction a/b.

So we will have to solve the given equation for a/b

Given

$8a=3b$

Dividing both sides by 8

$\frac{8a}{8}=\frac{3b}{8}\\a=\frac{3b}{8}$

Dividing both sides by b

$\frac{a}{b}=\frac{3b}{8*b}\\\frac{a}{b} =\frac{3}{8}$

The ratio a:b is 3:8
