What fraction of the length is the width of the book
is 2:3
Since we don't know how much Eric makes per dog, let's let <em>x </em>represent that value. Let's also let <em>y</em> represent our answer.
First, let's consider the two numbers we KNOW will be in the equation. The 56 that Eric made dog sitting and the 168 he made in total on Tuesday. Now, we're going to need to use subtraction and division in this equation.
(168 - 45) ÷ <em>x</em> = <em>y</em>
Hope this answer helped you out. :)
