Hello, Im stuck with thi ratio problem, There are only blue, green and red sweets in a box, the ratio of blue sweets to green sweets is 3:5 and the ratio of green sweets to red sweets is 6:1 there are less than 270 sweets in the box. what is the greatest possible number of red sweets in the box? any help will be much appreciated thanks

since we know that the two functions are equal, f (x) = g

(x), therefore when we equate the two equations the result should be similar to

3x = x – 4:

a. f(x) = 3x, g(x) = x – 4

equating the two functions:

3x = x – 4             (correct)

so we now got our answer (a)

the answer to 1/4x+5/3x-4=2-1/12x is x=3

hope this if needed hmu

answer: the correct option is d.

explanation:

it is given that the triangle j'k'l' shown on the grid below is a dilation of triangle jkl using the origin as the center of dilation.

from the given graph it is noticed that k(4,8) and k'(2,4). let origin is defined by o and scale factor is defined by k, then

    (1)

distance formula,

put these values in equation (1).

therefore scale factor is     and option d is correct.
