The answer is: 45 sandals.
_________________
Explanation: 
_________________
The ratio of:
__________________
shoes : sandals = 8:5
_____________________
We want to know how many SHOES were sold; if 72 sandals were sold.
__________________________
→ 8:5 = x:72 ; in which "x" = number of shoes were sold;
____________________
We can write this as:
___________________
→ 8 / 5 = x / 72; 
___________________
→ Cancel the "8" to a "1"; and change the "72" to a "9"; since "8 * 9 = 72" ;
______________________
→ and rewrite as:  1 / 5 = x / 9 ; 
____________________________
→ SInce "1/5" = 0.2 ; write as: 0.2 = x / 9 ↔  (0.2) x = 9 ;
__________________________
→ Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "(0.2)" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x' ; 
___________________________________
→ (0.2) x / (0.2) = 9 / (0.2) ; → to get: 45.
_____________
The answer is: 45 sandals.

(Note: Ratio of 45 shoes to 72 sandals)

Aidan drives to school and back each day. The school is 16 miles from his home. He averages 40 miles per hour on his way to scho
yarga [219]

Answer:

  26 2/3 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

  time = distance/speed

  speed = distance/time

Use the first of these relations to find Aidan's time getting to school:

  time = 16 mi/(40 mi/h) = 16/40 h = 0.4 h

Then the time Aidan takes to get home is 0.6 hours, and his average speed for that trip home is ...

  speed = 16 mi/(0.6 h) = 26 2/3 mi/h
