The ratio of seventh graders to sixth graders on a chess team is 5 to 3 . What is the ratio of seventh graders to total chess players ? Enter the correct answer in the box

5 : 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of seventh graders to sixth grader on the team is 5 : 3.

Assuming that only seventh and sixth graders are in the team, the total number of chess players at the most simple basis is:

= Number of seventh grade students in ratio + Number of sixth grade students in ratio

= 5 + 3

= 8 students

There are 5 seventh graders so the ratio will be:

= 5 : 8

Note: The chess team will most likely have more than 8 members but the  ratio of seventh graders to total chess players will still be 5 : 8.

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
