How do I do a ratio?

1 answer:

6 0

A ratio is comparing one thing to another (numbers in this case). You can write ratios in many ways
here’s three different ways.
There are four girls and and 2 boys.
The ratio of girls to boys is:
4:2
4 to 2
4/2

*THE RATIO MUST ALWAYS BE IN ORDER!!! If boys come first in the problem WRITE THE BOYS NUMBER FIRST! If girls come first, WRITE THE GIRLS FIRST IN THE RATIO!!! (That’s a very common mistake) hope this helps!

What is 6-2p=p+9 ?Because I don't know it

nikklg [1K]

Hey there!

Firstly, you have to $\bold{simplify}$ each of the sides of your equation
$\bold{6-2p-p+9\downarrow}$
$\bold{6+(-2p)=p+9\downarrow}$
$\rightarrow\bold{-2p+6=p+9}$
Now that you have that portion out of the way, we could move on to our second step... which is to $\bold{subtract}$ by the value of $\bold{p}$ on each of your sides
$\bold{-2p+6-p-p+9-p\downarrow}$
$\rightarrow\bold{-3p+6-9}$ (you get this because we solve the particular equation we added above)
Thirdly, you have to $\bold{subtract}$ by the number $\bold{6}$ on each of your sides
$\bold{-3p+6-6=9-6\downarrow}$
$\bold{Cancel:6-6}$ because it equals to $\bold{0}$
$\bold{Keep:9-6}$ because it brings us closer and closer to the answer of $\bold{p}$
Fourthly, we have to $\bold{divide}$ by the number $\bold{-3}$ on each of your sides
$\bold{\frac{-3p}{-3}=\frac{3}{-3}}$
$\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer:p=-1}}}$ $\checkmark$

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
