Just substitute the x for each of the values and do the work
9/10 + 8/100
9/10 + 2×4/25×4
Common denominator is 50.
9/10 + 2/25.
5×9/5×10 + 2×2/2×25
45/50 + 4/50
= 49/50
So the ratio to longboard to short board is 1:4, the total of that ratio is 5. 35 ÷ 5 = 7. now we're going to take those ratios and multiply 1 × 7 = 7 and 4 × 7 = 28. Your final answer is B. to confirm your answer add 28 + 7.
The answer would be h+(h+2.5)=22
The h represents Williams hours and the h+22 represents jose's hours. Together, they add to 22 hours :)
Hope this helps!
