Answer:
5:4
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 12 inches in one foot, so there are 24 inches in 2 feet.
Therefore, the ratio that compares 30 inches to 2 feet is the ratio that compares 30 inches to 24 inches.
This is

Simplify it:

5x+4=114
5x= 110
X=22
114+ 3(22)-24=156
180-156=24
2y=24
Y=12
Answer:
x=3
Step-by-step explanation:
i helped my friend on this before but it was a word problem
The expression you want to simplify is 0-(x-y).
0-(x-y)
=-(x-y)
=-x+y
You just have to treat the negative sign in front of (x-y) as a -1 and distribute it to both x and -y.
Answer:
Total 25.45 hours will be taken to empty the pool.
Step-by-step explanation:
Time taken by large pumpkin to empty the pool=40 hours
Time taken by the smaller pumpkins to empty the pool=70 hours
Amount of pool emptied by large pumpkin in one hour=
Amount of pool emptied by small pumpkin in one hour=
Amount of pool emptied in one hour if both pumpkins work together=
+ 
=
Therefore, the no. of days will be the reciprocal of the amount of work done in one hour ie . 
Total 25.45 hours will be taken to empty the pool.
