the ratio of men to women is 3:4 and the ratio of women to children is 5:2. write the ratio of men to women to children

15:20:8

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find a common factor between 4 and 5 because there are 3 men to 4 women and 5 women for 2 children, those numbers don't directly correlate. The easiest waay would be to multiply 4 and 5.

4 x 5 = 20

So we can correct the first ratio.

3 X 5 = 15

So the ratio of men to women is 15:20.

Now we find the ratio of women to children.

4 x 5 = 20

4 x 2 = 8

The ratio of women to children is 20:8.

Now that we have the same number in each ratio for women, we can combine them.

The ratio of men to women to children is:

15:20:8

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≤ x ≤ 40

step-by-step explanation:

20 ≤ x + 15 ≤ 55

subtract 15 from all parts

20-15 ≤ x + 15-15 ≤ 55-15

5 ≤ x ≤ 40

this means how many more cookies he has to make

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies, but no more than 40 cookies; 5 ≤ x ≤ 40
