Yep! 2/4, also known as 1/2 is larger than 2/5. You can verify this by getting a common denominator of 20 by multiplying the top and bottom of 2/4 by 5 and the top and bottom of 2/5 by 4, and asking yourself of this is true: Does 10/20=8/20? No it does not! Therefore 2/4 is bigger than 2/5!
Answer:
1:10
Step-by-step explanation:
1 hour is 60 minutes, so the ratio is 6:60.
To simplify, divide both sides by 6.
Thus, you get:
1:10.
Substitute y
6x + 5(2x – 14) = -6
use distributive property
6x + 10x – 70 = -6
add terms together
16x = 64
isolate x
16x/16 = 64/16
x = 4
to find value of y, use your x value in the second equation
y = 2(4) – 14
y = -6
Verify you are correct
6(4) + 5(-6) = -6
The sum of the percentages of milk and dark chocolate needs to equal 100%.
Since dark chocolate is 25%, then milk chocolate must be 75%
Now we can set up a proportion:
75% = 3 lbs
25% = X lbs
Dark chocolate = (3 x 25%) / (75% x X) = 1 lb
Percents are always whatever number over 100:
So for example, 35% is really 35/100:
35/100 as a number is .35
So when you get a percent and need to convert to a number, just divide by 100.
Hope this helps!
