Hi there! 5 bottles of water for $3 would make $0.60 per bottle. 0.6 * 15 = 9. That means 15 bottles of water should equal $9, but instead it is $8. Based on that, no. The costs for bottles of water is not proportional to the numbers sold. Basically, you can divide to find unit prices and multiply the number of another item to see if the numbers are proportional.

First we need to do 350 - 15 since 350 is our total and we already started at 15m.

Next divide the remainder (335) by 5 because that’s how fast we are moving, the final answer is 67 minutes.

Red, green, and white jellybeans are combined in a ratio of 5:4:3, respectively. What is the ratio of green jelly beans to the t
Rainbow [258]

We have been given that red, green, and white jellybeans are combined in a ratio of 5:4:3 respectively. We are asked to find out the ratio of green jelly beans to the total number of jelly beans.

In order to find out  the ratio of green jelly beans to the total number of jelly beans we have to find out the total number of jelly beans.

\text{Total number of jelly beans}=5+4+3=12

Now we can find out out our desirable ratio by substituting our finding in the ratio.

\text{Number of green jelly beans}:\text{Total number of jelly beans}=4:12\\=1:3

Therefore, ratio of green jelly beans with respect to all jelly beans is 1:3.
