Answer:

The proportion that can be used to find x is;

(200-x)/x = 7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, we want to find the proportion which can be used to find x.

From the question, we are told that the father skater traveled 7 ft for every 6 ft of the slower skater;

this means that the ratio of their speed is 7:6

Now, when they passed each other , the slower skater has traveled x ft, what this means is that the faster skater will have traveled a distance of (200-x) ft at that moment they passed each other.

Mathematically, since their time is equal i.e the time they used to pass each other, then, the ratio of their distances is same as the ratio of their speeds;

Hence;

(200-x)/x = 7/6 or x/(200-x) = 6/7

James bought a cake that weighs 3 and 1 over 4 pounds. How many ounces does the cake weigh? Show your work. (5 points)
kolezko [41]

The weight of James cake in ounces is 52 ounces and the Pint of water dispensed in 20 seconds is 24 pints

<h3>Weight</h3>

  • Weight of cake = 3 1/4 pounds

1 pound = 16 ounces

Number of ounces the cake weigh = 3 1/4 pounds × 16 ounces

= 13/4 × 16

= (208) / 4

= 52 ounces

  • Water dispensed per second = 0.15 gallons
  • Number of seconds = 20 seconds

1 gallon = 4 quarts

0.15 gallon = 0.6 quarts

1 quart = 2 pints

0.6 quart = 1.2 pints

Pint of water dispensed in 20 seconds = 1.2 × 20

= 24 pints of water
