Mathematically, 10 times.
Realistically, you can't tell.
$1.80 if the question was ( he would have 3/5 of the amount he started with)
The last option is the answer
Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
The contiguous U.S. consist of all states beside Alaska and Hawaii; therefore, there are 48 contiguous U.S. states. However, the ratio given to us only consists of 16 states [7 + 9 = 16]. If we need to expand the ratio, we multiply 16 by 3 to get 48. Thus, we also multiply each of the terms by 3, and the ratio becomes 21:27. Therefore, the number of contiguous U.S. states that border an ocean is 21.
