To solve this problem, we can set up proportion, which is two equivalent ratios. In this case, we are using the ratio of A to B to figure out the amount that B pays using our value for A. We are allowing x to represent the unknown value for the B payment. This is modeled below:

3/2 = £125/x

To simplify, we can perform cross-multiplication. This means multiplying the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other and setting it equal to the product of the other numerator and denominator. This is modeled below:

(125)(2) = (3)(x)

Next, we can simplify the equation by performing the multiplication on both sides of the equation.

250 = 3x

Finally, we should divide both sides by 3 to get our unknown variable x alone on the right side of the equation.

x = 83.33

Therefore, B costs £83.33.

Hope this helps!

Hello!
3 + 2 = 5
125 divided by 5 = 25
25 x 3:2 = 2
25 x 2 = 50

If it took 28 minutes to run 4 miles, then at that rate, how long would it take to run 20 miles?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

140 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

After 28 mins you've gone 4 miles, assuming this rate is constant and you dont slow down or speed up, in order to get to 20 miles you will have run 5x as much (20/4 = 5), thus 5x the amount of time (28x5).

20/4 = 5

5x28 = 140

Answer:

My earlier answer was deleted, so I'm reposting.  The only thing I can think happened is that I included a link to a free bar chart program, which I used for the attached chart.

Step-by-step explanation:

Make your own chart or find an online bar chart utility.  I was unable to properly label the title and axes on my chart, so modify these properties.
