This is a "rate of pay" problem. The amount earned is equal to the (rate of pay) times the (number of hours worked).
Let the income be represented by "i". Then the formula is i = ($10.91/hour)*w, where w is the number of hours worked and has the unit of measurement "hours."
2x=y where 2 is dollars per tomatoe, x is amount of pounds of tomatoes, and y is amount of money spent in total. say you got 3 pounds of tomatoes; the equation would be 2(3)=y. y=6. Hope I helped!
Is this for area and perimeter? If so, first make the fraction a decimal, (that would be 3.5). Then, for permeter, add 3.5 + 3.5 + 9 + 9, which is 25, for area, multiply 3.5 by 9, which is 31.5. Hope this helped!
If the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles in a jar is 3 to 8, the meaning is for every 3 red marbles there are 8 blue marbles.
3 red marbles------------------8 blue marbles.
ratio=3/8
we have 40 blue marbles; we have to compute the number of red marbles.
1) Method 1; by the rule three.
3 red marbles-----------------8 blue marbles
x----------------------------------40 blue marbles
x=(3 red marbles * 40 blue marbles) / 8 blue marbles=15 red marbles.
answer: B. 15
Method 2: the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles is
ratio=number of red marbles / number of blue marbles
ratio=3/8
if we want to compute the number of red marbles we have to multiply the number of blue marbles by this ratio.
number of red marbles=ratio (red/blue)* number of blue marbles
number of red marbles=(3/8)*40=15
Answer: B.15
4/6 is an equivalent to 2/3
