Answer:

31 customers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let he had x customers when he started,

=> x=31 ...Dividing both sides by 2

Hence he had 31 customers when he started.

Anna11 [10]

Answer:

10 boys, 15 girls

Step-by-step explanation:

Original ratio: 2 boys/3 girls

let x be the scale factor of the ratio

2x plus 5 boys over 3x girls = 1 (because the # of boys/girls are the same)-------> 2x+5/3x = 1

Simplify: 2x+5=3x

Simplify: 5=x

plug x back into the original ratio: 10/15

Check: 10/15 = 2/3

10 boys + 5 boys = 15, 15/15 = 1

Reil [10]

Answer:

Ava needs to add 50ml of cleaner.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ratio of cleaner : water = 1:7

This means that the total ratio;(water+cleaner) = 1+7 = 8

Find fraction of each item out of the total ratio of 8;

Fraction of water = \frac{7}{8}

Fraction of cleaner = \frac{1}{8}

Knowing the fractions, find the quantity of cleaner in <em>ml </em>out of a total of 400-ml;

Cleaner = (1/8 )*400 = 50ml

Therefore, Ava needs to add 50ml of cleaner.
