Answer:

18 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call it's initial elevation x. Because it descends 3 miles, we now have x - 3. The question says it is now 15 miles above sea level, or x - 3 = 15, and adding 3 to both sides shows that x = 18 miles.

X and y are proportional hence when y is multiplied by a number, x is multiplied by the same number.

18=6*3 hence when y=18,x=9*3=27

x=27

Which ratio is equivalent to 3/7? <br> A) 6 to 10<br> B) 9:12<br> C) 12/35<br> D) 7 to 3
Leona [35]

we are ratio as

=\frac{3}{7}

It will be equivalent to only those terms which would be multiple of this term

so, we will multiply top and bottom term by 5

and we get

=\frac{3\times 5}{7\times 5}

=\frac{15}{7\times 5}

=\frac{15}{35}

so, it is very similar to 12/35

so, it will be equivalent to 12/35

so, option-C.......Answer

What is 2 plus 2 plus 3 times 3
guajiro [1.7K]
So, in order, you have to multiply first. 3x3=9, now you have to do 2+2=4. Since there is a "plus" in between "2+2" and "3x3" you have to add, 9+4=13.
