Answer: The Millers need 15 gallons of water for 6 minutes.
Lets start by finding how much water is needed for 1 min shower.
<span>
25 gallons of water is used for 10 min shower:
</span>10 mins = 25 gallons <span>
To find 1 min shower, we will divide the 25 gallons of water by 10.
</span><span>
10 mins = 25 gallons </span>← Divide by 10 on both sides<span>
÷ 10 ÷ 10
1 min = 2.5 gallons
Now that we know the Millers need 2.5 gallons for every 1 minute of shower, we can find 6 minutes of shower by multiplying by 6.
1 min = 2.5 gallons</span> ← Multiply 6 on both sides<span>
x6 x6
6 min = 15 gallons

Answer:
70 dolls
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
The ratio is 5:2, which are division of a whole. They can be represented as 5x and 2x.
Jacky has 5x dolls, and Peter has 2x dolls. They were equal after subtracting 15 dolls from 5x and adding them to 2x.
Equation:
Solve:
- 5x - 15 = 2x + 15
- 5x - 30 = 2x
- 5x = 2x + 30
- 3x = 30
- x = 10
So Jacky has 5(10) dolls, or 50 dolls, and Peter has 2(10) or 20 dolls.
The total sum is 70 dolls.
Answer would be -19 and your welcome :)
