Answer:

No multiplying both quantities in the ratio 60 : 36 by 1  would not give the answer .

But multiplying both quantities in the ratio 60 : 36 by 1/6  would solve it.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying any number or ratio by 1 gives the same answer no matter what the expression or how much bigger the number is.This will not give the solution .

If it is multiplied with a fraction like 1/6  that would give the correct answer.

Multiplying it with 1/6 reduces the ratio and gives a better estimate.

A:B

60:36

60*1/6: 36*1/6

10: 6

Meaning that for a total of 16 there are 10 of category A and 6 of category B.

But if we do the same procedure with the answer is same which does not solve the question.

A:B

60:36

60*1: 36*1

60: 36

hree TAs are grading a final exam. There are a total of 60 exams to grade. (a) How many ways are there to distribute the exams a
nalin [4]

Answer:

a. 205320

b. 34220

c. 60! / (35)! (25)! + 60!/ (40)!(20)! + 60!/ (45)! (15)!

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The number of ways to dustribute exams among the TA's is:

n / (n - r)!

n= number of things to choose from

r= Choosing r number

60P3= 60! / (60 - 3)!

(60)(59)(58)(57)! / (57)!

=205320

B) The number of ways to dustribute the exams among the TA's is:

n! /(n - r)! r!

60C3= 60! /(60 - 3)! 3!

= 60!/ 57! 3!

= 60 × 59 × 58 / 3 × 2 × 1

= 34220

C) The required number of ways is:

60C25 + 60C20 + 60C15

= 60! / (35)! (25)! + 60!/ (40)!(20)! + 60!/ (45)! (15)!

8.5b−3.4∙(13a−3.2b)+a
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

8.5b - 3.4(13a - 3.2b) + a = 19.4b - 43.2a

Step-by-step explanation:

It is a simple mathematical problem with multiple like terms. We can solve it by applying basic mathematical rules of multiplication and addition/subtration.

8.5b - 3.4(13a - 3.2b) + a

= 8.5b - 3.4*13a -3.4*(-3.2b) + a

= 8.5b - 3.4*13a + 3.4*3.2b + a

= 8.5b - 44.2a + 10.88 b + a

Now, only like terms can be added to each other

= (8.5b + 10.9b) + (a - 44.2a)

= 19.4b + (-43.2a)

= 19.4b - 43.2a
