Let's assume
that number is x
now, we are given
The difference between nine times a number an 7 is -70
nine times of that number is 9x
so, we can set up equation
now, we can solve for x
so, number is -7.........Answer
the father takes, the son takes 5 steps just to keep up. What is the ratio of
the number of steps the father takes to the number of steps the son takes? Add
labels to the columns of the table and place the ratio into the first row of
data. Add equivalent ratios to build a ratio table.
2. What can you say about the values of the ratios in the table?
(p.s the image attached is for question 1)
Answer:
3:5 is the ratio.
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the number of steps of father to number of steps of son is 3:5.
The table forms as follows:
Steps by father Steps by son
3 5
6 10
9 15
12 20
15 25
a) The ratio of the number of steps of father to number of steps of son will be 3:5.
b) The table forms as follows:
father son
3 5
6 10
9 15
12 20
15 25
a) We can continue finding equivalent ratios by multiplying both sides of the ratio by different numbers, such as 3, 4, or any other value.
Multiply the first term by 2 to get 3 * 2 = 6. Multiply the second term by 2 to get 5 * 2 = 10.
- The equivalent ratio is 6:10.
In the ratio table, we can observe that the values of the ratios are always in the form of a fraction or as a simplified fraction.
=The ratios we have found so far, such as
3:5 and 6:10, = 3/5 and 3/5 respectively.
Thus the ratio of the number of steps of father to number of steps of son is 3:5.
b) The table forms as follows:
father son
3 5
6 10
9 15
12 20
15 25

The skyscraper will have 78 floors when it is finished.
A fraction is written in the form of a numerator and a denominator where the denominator is greater that the numerator.
We have two types of fractions.
Proper fraction and improper fraction.
A proper fraction is a fraction whose numerator is less than the denominator.
An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than the denominator.
Example:
1/2, 1/3 is a fraction.
3/6, 99/999 is a fraction.
1/4 is a fraction.
We have,
Let's assume that the total number of floors in the skyscraper is "x".
According to the problem, the builder has built 1/6 of the floors.
So the number of floors built by the builder is:
= (1/6)x
The problem also tells us that the builder has built 13 floors.
So we can set up the equation:
(1/6) x = 13
To solve for "x", we can multiply both sides by 6:
x = 78
Therefore,
The skyscraper will have 78 floors when it is finished.
