In a treasure chest, there are 20 gold pieces an 8 silver pieces. Which ratio accurately compares the number of gold pieces to the number of silver pieces?

5:2

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio = Gold pieces : Silver pieces

We have 20 gold pieces

8 silver pieces

Ratio = 20 : 8

Dividing through by 4

= 5 : 2

Therefore, the correct ratio = 5:2

answer: for each 3 girls there is 2 boys . 3: 2

hope this ! (:   mark me as brainliest if you can

x ≥ 18 is your answer

step-by-step explanation:

let "a number" = x

(2/3)x + 17 ≥ 29

isolate the variable (x). do the opposite of pemdas (parenthesis, exponent (& root), multiplication, division, addition, subtraction).

first, subtract 17 from both sides.

(2/3)x + 17 (-17) ≥ 29 (-17)

(2/3)x ≥ 29 - 17

(2/3)x ≥ 12

next, multiply 3/2 to both sides to isolate the x

(3/2)(2/3)x ≥ 12(3/2)

x ≥ 12(3/2)

simplify. multiply, then divide

x ≥ (12 * 3)/2

x ≥ (36)/2

x ≥ 18

x ≥ 18 is your answer
