X=area of Sahara.
y=area of the Gobi Desert.
We suggest this system equations:
x+y=4000000
x=7y
solve by susbstitution method.
(7y)+y=4,000,000
8y=4,000,000
y=4,000,000 / 8=500,000

x=7y
x=7(500,000)=3,500,000

The area of Sahara=3,500,00 miles².
The area of the Gobi Desert=500,000 miles²

To check:
Te sum of their areas is : 3,500,000 miles²+500,000 miles²=4,000,000 miles²
Te area of sahara (3,500,000 miles²) is 7 times the area of the Gobi Desert (7*500,000 miles²=3,500,000 miles²).

Answer:

Your table might look something like this:

The dads steps:

3

6

9

12

15

18

Sons steps:

5

10

15

20

25

30

You can notice the pattern. If dad walks 3 steps, son walks 5. If dad walks another 3, son walks another 5. And so on. This means dad walks 12 steps when the sin walks 20 steps.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is 3:5. This means dad wlaks 3 steps so son must walk 5 steps basically. So.......... You can now create the table. Y I just have to multiply or divide each side ( of the colon:) so. Whatever you do to one side, you do to the other side. If you x3 on one side, you do it to other. Same goes for division. In the 'table' I did above, I x2 to get 6 and 10. Then I took the 3 and the 5 again and timsed those by 3. You can also change the 6 and the 10. So:

3:5

Then x2

6:10

Then I take the top layer (you can either choose to change the top layer, or layer above as long as you do the same thing to each side. Remember, only x and ÷. No + or-.) and I x3

9:15

Then I could take 9 and 15 and x5

45:75

It's crazy that all these. Ratios mena the same thing! 45 steps from dad would take the son 75 steps. You can also divide the last ratio of 45:75 to find the one you started with, 3:5.

So you get the idea.

It is probably best to do what I did in the table in the answer part because I did a pattern. Take the top layer, and x2, then x3, then x4, ect. Rather then doing random things.
