Ratio of cheese to pepperoni...
45 cheese....20 pepperoni.....45/20 reduces to 9/4 or 9:4
little tip ** be careful of the wording of problems such as these.....because if it asked for the ratio of pepperoni to cheese, it would have been 4:9
Answer:
i think it is B
Step-by-step explanation:
because that one isn't really a rate as much as the other ones are, its more of a ratio, i'm bad at explaining things, hope its correct :D
Mom drove for 11 hours.
Dad drove for 3 hours.
<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
- Total distance = 895 miles
- Mom drove a speed of 65 mph
- Dad drove a speed of 60 mph
Let 'x' be the number of hours drove by mom.
Let 'y' be the number of hours drove by dad.
x + y = 14 ---------------(1)
65x + 60y = 895 ---------(2)
Multiply eq(1) by 60 and subtract eq(2) from (1),
60x + 60y = 840
-(<u>65x + 60y = 895</u>)
<u> -5x = -55 </u>
x = 55/5
x = 11
∴ Mom drove for 11 hours.
Substitute x=11 in eq(1)
11+y = 14
y = 3
∴ Dad drove for 3 hours.
