We know that the answer is asking for speed, which needs both distance and time, so we also need both. Which is where the 9 mph is used. 9 mph means its a difference. b means biking mph, w means walking mph, sooo ----->>> b=w+9, and the difference in the 1st equation is 36, which means the first equation is 4 times larger than the b=w+9, so she walked 48 miles, as well as walked 12 miles in 4 hours. Divide then distances by 4, and you get 12 miles and 3 miles in one hour. Or 12 mph & 3 mph, which fits into 12=3+9. So she walks 3 miles per hour.

As per the problem

The chemicals in my swimming pool use a ratio of 5 tablets of chlorine for every 14 days.

we have been asked to find

Which ratio shows the number of chlorine tablets needed for 42 days?

Since for each 14 days the number of tablets required is 5

So if you multiply the number of days by some number then, we will have to multiply the number of tablets required by the same number.

So When number of days $=14*3=42\\$
