The ratio of the prices of Emma's phone to Sophie's phone is 7:8. If Sophie's phone costs $640, how much should the prices of their phones decrease in order to have a ratio of 9:11 ?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Let cost of Emma's phone = x

Given that cost of Sophie's phone = 640

Then ratio of their phones cost will be x:640 or x/640

Given that ratio of their phones cost is 7:8 or 7/8

So both ratios will be equal.

(x)/(640)=(7)/(8)

x=(7)/(8)*640

x=560


So the new ratio of the cost of their phones will be 560:640

Now we have to find about how much should the prices of their phones decrease in order to have a ratio of 9:11.

So let that decreased amount is k then we will get equation :

(560-k)/(640-k)=(9)/(11)

11(560-k)=9(640-k)

6160-11k=5760-9k

6160-5760=11k-9k

400=2k

200=k


Hence final answer is prices of their phones should decrease by 200 in order to have a ratio of 9:11.

Answers

Answer:

***********o                                                         o**************

<----------(-4)--------(-2)--------(0)--------(-2)----------(4)-------------->

x>4 or x<-4

Step-by-step explanation:

You are looking for numbers that give you a distance, x, greater than 4 from 0. That wouldn't be anything between -4 and 4 because these would all give you a distance less than 4 from 0. So the answer would be to shade everything greater than 4 while also shading everything less than -4.

Here is a number line <-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-->

                                          -6    -4   -2    0     2     4    6    8

                                                 

Let's think about this more which of these numbers on this number line would satisfy |x|>4?

Numbers inside the numbers -4 and 4.

Or the numbers on the outside.

Let's try the inside numbers:

-2,02

|-2|>4

 2>4 is false which means -2 doesn't satisfy |x|>4

|0|>4

 0>4 is false which means 0 doesn't satisfy  |x|>4

|2|>4

 2>4 is false which means 2 doesn't satisfy  |x|>4

We could also try -4 and 4... but these will both give you a distance equal to 4 from 0.  And we are looking for greater than.

|-4|>4

 4>4 is false which mean -4 doesn't satisfy |x|>4

|4|>4

 4>4  is false which means 4 doesn't satisfy |x|>4

Now let's try the numbers on the outside:

-6,6,8

|-6|>4

 6>4 is true so -6 does satisfy |x|>4

|6|>4

 6>4 is true so 6 does satisfy |x|>4

|8|>4

 8>4 is true so 8 does satisfy |x|>4

So what I'm trying to do is convince you more that the only numbers that would satisfy |x|>4 are numbers outside the interval from -4 to 4.

So x>4 or x<-4.

On a number line the solution would look like this:

***********o                                                         o**************

<----------(-4)--------(-2)--------(0)--------(-2)----------(4)-------------->

We have holes at -4 and 4 to mean we do not include those numbers.  We would have if the inequality read |x| \ge 4.  The line underneath this inequality means to include or equals.  We do not want to include; we did not have the equal sign.   The only difference between the two solutions would be to fill the holes if you |x| \ge 4.

***********o                                                         o**************

<----------(-4)--------(-2)--------(0)--------(-2)----------(4)-------------->

The median of the data set is 81 what number is missing in data set 82, 87, 77, 70, 80, 88

Answers

The missing dataset is 81 at the 4th position.

We have the following data set -

82, 87, 77, 70, 80, 88

whose Median is -  81

We have to find out the missing data in this dataset.

What is the formula to find the Median of a set of odd number of elements (say N) ?

If a set consist of odd number of elements, then the median of that set of numbers is the is the element at the position ((N+1)/(2)) ^(th).

Let the missing element be x. Now, the data set becomes -

82, 87, 77, 70, 80, 88, x

To total number of elements in the dataset = 7, which is a odd number.

The element at the ((N+1)/(2)) ^(th) position for odd number of elements equals to Median which is equal to 81.

Hence, the missing dataset is 81 at the position -    ((7+1)/(2)) ^(th) = (8)/(2) = 4th position.

a path across a park is represented by the equation y=-2x+5. A new path will be built perpendicular to this path. the two paths cross at (-2,9). I identify the equation that represents the new path. ​

Answers

Answer:

y = ½x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Perpendicular lines have OPPOSITE MULTIPLICATIVE INVERSE RateofChanges[Slopes], so you need to have a slope of ½, like in the work shown below:

9 = ½[-2] + b

-1

10 = b
