7:8 it could also be written as 7 to 8 or 7/8

Since we need to find out SIXTH to FIFTH grades we have to put the sixth graders first. Hope this helps and have a great day!

Answer:

the ratio of the sixth-grade students to fifth-grade students on the team is 7 : 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Parameters

Fifth grade students of the basket team = 8

Sixth grade students of the basket team = 7

Required;

Ratio of the sixth-grade students to fifth-grade students on the team

Let F represent the fifth graders

F = 8

Let S represent the sixth graders

S = 7

The ratio of S to F is represented mathematically by S : F

By substituton

S : F becomes

7 : 8

Hence, the ratio of the sixth-grade students to fifth-grade students on the team is 7 : 8

Q3. a cyclist bikes x distance at 10 miles per hour and returns over the same path at 8 miles per hour. what is the cyclist's av
Sladkaya [172]
If he bikes for 10 miles per hour and 8 miles per hour for the same distance x miles, he went 10 miles per hour for x/10 hours, as Distance = Rate*Time and on the way back he would go for x/8 hours. So then he went 2x distance, in x/8 + x/10 hours. Since x/8 + x/10 = 10x/80 + 8x/80 = 18x/80 = 9x/40, he went 2x miles in 9x/40 hours. this can be converted into a rate with the above equation Distance = Rate*Time, so 2x=(9x/40) * Rate, thus we divide by 9x/40 on both sides to get 80x/9x = Rate, the x cancels out, and we get 80/9 Miles per hour.

R(-9, 4) and S(2,-1); Find T.
madreJ [45]

Answer:

12.083 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given with two coordinates and asked to determine the distance between them.

Here we are going to use the distance formula, which is given as under

D=\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}

Where

(x_1,y_1) = (-9,4)

(x_2,y_2) = (2,-1)

Replacing these values in the distance formula

D =\sqrt{(-9-2))^2+(4-(-1))^2}

D =\sqrt{(-11)^2+(5)^2}

D =\sqrt{121+25}

D =\sqrt{146}

D= 12.083

Hence the distance is 12.083 units
