At a furniture shop, every chair came with either 1 or 2 cushions. The ratio of the number of chairs to the number of cushions was 7:11, what fraction of
the chairs came with 2 cushions?

 4/7

Step-by-step explanation:

the number of chairs = 7

the number of cushions = 11

Every chair has at least 1 cushion. There are 7 chairs so 7 cushions are used.

There is a total of 11 cushions and 7 cushions are already distributed to the chairs so there are 4 chairs with a 2nd cushion.

Chairs with 2 cushions ÷ Total chairs = 4/7

the least common denominatore of 7 and 2 is 9

step-by-step explanation:

7+2=9

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
