For each 24 mm of coloured fabric gordon uses to make his curtains, he also uses 1.2 cm of white fabric. express the amount of white fabric to coloured fabric as a ratio in its simplest form.

1 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

amount of coloured fabric Gordon use to make his curtain = 24mm

amount of white fabric Gordon use to make his curtain = 1.2cm

To find,

ratio of the amount of white fabric to coloured fabric

1 cm = 10mm

1.2 cm = 1.2 * 10

           = 12 mm

12 / 24

1 / 2

1 : 2

So, ratio of the amount of white fabric to coloured fabric is 1 : 2

Given:

Searches in February = 8972

There were 7,313 more searches in the library book checkout system in January than February.

To find:

The searches in both months.

Solution:

Searches in February = 8972

There were 7,313 more searches in the library book checkout system in January than February. So,

Searches in January = 8972 + 7313 = 16285

Now,

Total number of Searches in both months = January + February  searches

Therefore, total number of searches in both months is 25257.
