[I](The reciprocal of 3/4 is found by 1/(3/4)[/I] [/LIST] Cross multiply equation 1 and equation 2: [LIST=1] [*]4x = 3y [*]3(x + 7) = 4y [/LIST] Simplifying, we get: [LIST=1] [*]4x = 3y [*]3x + 21 = 4y [/LIST] If we divide equation 1 by 4, we get: [LIST=1] [*]x = 3y/4 [*]3x + 21 = 4y [/LIST] Substitute equation (1) into equation (2) for x: 3(3y/4) + 21 = 4y 9y/4 + 21 = 4y Multiply the equation by 4 on both sides to eliminate the denominator: 9y + 84 = 16y To solve this equation for y, we type it in our math engine and we get: y = [B]12 [/B] We then substitute y = 12 into equation 1 above: x = 3 * 12/4 x = 36/4 x = [B]9 [/B] So our original fraction x/y = [B]9/12[/B]

A lottery offers 1 $1000 prize and 5 $100 prizes. 1000 tickets are sold. Find the expectation if a person buys 1 ticket for $5. Set up the expected values E(x): for the 1,000 price: E(x) = (1000 - 5) * 1/1000 = 995/1000 For the 5 $100 prizes: E(x) = (100 - 5) * 5/1000 = 475/1000 For the losing ticket. With 6 winning tickets, we have 1000 - 6 = 994 losing tickets: E(x) = -3 * 994/1000 = -2982/1000 We get our total expected value by adding all of these expected values up. Since they all have the same denominator, we add numerators: E(x) = (995 + 475 - 2982)/1000 E(x) = -1512/1000 E(x) = [B]-1.51[/B]

I only own blue blankets and red blankets. 8 out of every 15 blankets I have are red. If have i 45 blankets, how many are blue? If 8 out of 15 blankets are red, then 15 - 8 = 7 are blue So 7 out of every 15 blankets are blue. Set up a proportion of blue blankets to total blankets where b is the number of blue blankets in 45 blankets 7/15 = b/45 Cross multiply: If 2 proportions are equal, then we can do the following: Numerator 1 * Denominator 2 = Denominator 1 * Numerator 2 15b = 45 * 7 15b = 315 To solve for b, divide each side of the equation by 15: 15b/15 = 315/15 Cancel the 15's on the left side and we get: b = [B]21[/B]
