Question The Not First One
20 sharpened to ?unsharpened and the total is 36
20+X=36
subtract 20 from both sides
X=16
the ratio is
20:16
or
5:4 (D)
Question The Other One
The ratio is
1/6 (pistachios) to 1/3 (almonds) to 1/2 (cashews)
Batch 1
1 (pistachios) 2 (Almonds) ?
? P, 2/3 A, 1 C
4/3 P, ?A, ?C
First, I will find the total amount for all of them
Batch 1- 1 is 1/6 of the full thing so the full thing is 6
Batch 2- 1 is 1/2 if the full so the full is 2
Batch 3- 4/6 is 1/6 of the totals amount so the full is 4
Batch 1- The answer is 3
Batch 2- The answer is 1/3 or 2/6
Batch 3 Almonds- 1 1/3
Batch 3 Cashews- 2
The answer to the problem is 36.
Divide the total amount of ribbon by the length of each individual ribbon:
30 ft / 0.625 ft = 48
She can make 48 ribbons.
Convert 1 and 1/2 to eights to make it easier to subtract. 1 4/8 add 1 to 4/8
12/8 then subtract that by 7/8 straight across the numerator. That then equals 5/8
We set up a proportion: 12/200= ?/100
Cross multiply:
200*?= 12*100
⇒ ?= 12*100/200= 6
12 is 6% of 200~
