Let's convert one of these numbers:
1 foot = 12 inches
9 feet were 9*12=108 inches
so the ratio would be 42: 108
or we can simplify it: divide by 2:
21:54
divide by 3:
7:18
A ratio always stays the same no matter the unit or currency, so it doesn't matter which unit we convert it to.
Answer:
susan's: 10/3
Bonnie's:5
Step-by-step explanation:
Average of 2 numbers is 40
so total = 2 x 40 = 80
300 - 80 = 220
average of remaining 10 numbers = 220/10 = 22
answer
B) 22
Total of $7.75
13 more quarters than nickels
15 nickels = $0.75
28 quarters = $7.00
28 - 15 = 13 coins
$7.00 + $0.75 = $7.75
She has 15 nickels and 28 quarters.
J ---- P --- K
JP = 2x
PK = 7x
JK = 27
2x + 7x = 27
9x = 27
x = 27/9
x = 3
The value of P is 3.
JP = 2x = 2(3) = 6
PK = 7x = 7(3) = 21
