In Josie's garden, the ratio of zinnias to petunias is 5:3. Which sentence correctly describes the ratio? A For every 5 zinnias, there are 3 petunias. B For every 3 zinnias, there are 5 petunias. C For every 8 petunias, there are 5 zinnias. D There are 35 as many zinnias as petunias.

A For every 5 zinnias, there are 3 petunias.

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP 1

A ratio  compares the value of one thing and another thing  in the same unit by expressing how many times  a number of items are contained in another comparing item . it is usually expressed using the  colon : as in a: b or "to" as in a to b.

STEP 2

in Josie's garden, the ratio of zinnias to petunias is 5:3.

Here, the ratio 5:3 compares and  expresses how many times the number of petunias are contained in the number of zinnias.

which means that For every 5 zinnias, there are 3 petunias.

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
