9/19 = x / 152....9 oz oil to 19 gallons gas = x oz oil to 152 gallons gas
cross multiply because this is a proportion
(19)(x) = (152)(9)
19x = 1368
x = 1368/19
x = 72 oz of oil <==
Hi there!
To get the answer to this question, let's divide the diameter of the Earth by the diameter of Mercury.

We can change this to

Let's solve for each individual fraction

≈ 0.27

= 10
Now, multiply.
0.27 * 10 = 2.7
That's your answer.
Have an awesome day/night! :)

A)
= 3 2/4
= 3 1/2
b)
= 7 10/15 + 2 3/15
= 9 13/15
Let H = Hailey's age and M = Maverick
Hailey is 3 times as old as Maverick: H = 3M
The sum of their ages is 48 years: H + M = 48
Since H = 3M, substitute 3M in place of H in the second equation:
H + M = 48
3M + M = 48
4M = 48
M = 12
Maverick is 12 years old. Hailey = 3M = 3(12) = 36 years old.
