Given:
The ratio of the cost of a shirt to the cost of a jacket is 2:5.
The jacket cost $240 more than the shirt.
To find:
The cost of the shirt and the cost of the jacket.

So, the cost of shirt is $160.
Now, the cost of jacket is:

Therefore, the cost of shirt is $160 and the cost of jacket is $400.
The answer is 5 and six because you add
so get the people down to unit rates first
Natalie= 40 in 9 minutes
Steven= 10 in 3 minutes
multiply Stevens to get it even
so by 3
30 in 9 minutes
so Natalie paints faster
