A movie theater has 24 screens. The ratio of action films tp other films currently showing on all screens 1:2. How many action films are currently showing?

Currently 8 action films are being shown

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Ratio of action film to other films = 1:2

which means 1 action movie would be shown for every 2 other films

Total  ratio =  1+2 = 3

Step 2

Number of action films shown = ratio of action film/ total ratio  x 24 screens

= 1/3 x 24 = 8

Number of other films shown = ratio of other films/ total ratio  x 24 screens

= 2/3 x 24 = 16

Currently 8 action films and 16 other films are being shown

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)
