Answer:

9 hours, 20 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

When two ferries work together, they transport a day's cargo in 7 hours

The speed proportion or ratio of larger ferry to smaller ferry is given as 3 : 1

The sum of the ratio = 4 (3 + 1)

This means that it will take the smaller ferry = 7 x 4 hours to work alone = 28 hours, since the larger ferry is faster by 3.

Therefore, when larger ferry works alone, it will take it (7 x 4)/3 = 9.33 hours.

9.33 hours = 9 hours, 20 minutes.

Rus_ich [418]
To answer this question you need to first set up the small, medium, large number of cakes as a ratio with a total. From here you will create a new ratio of the correct number of small medium and large Cakes sold using the total 216. The factor would be to multiply by nine. -Step 1 in picture. After this you would read what the relationship is between a medium and a small and the large and the small profits are - Step 2 in picture. After this you would represents the total profit based on the number of small medium and large cakes that were sold. Making this equal to L648.45. To find the profit for one small, you would then divide 648.45 by the 495 you got when you simplify the expression. The answer is L1.31.

10x+9=4x -9 solve <br><br> please help
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, you need to isolate the variable x, this means only one side of the equation should have the variable x. To do this, you need to do the opposite operation from what's given (if it's addition, use subraction; if it's multiplication, use division; these work vise versa)

  • Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation. This gives you 10x = 4x - 18.
  • Subtract 4x from both sides of the equation. This gives you 6x = -18.
  • Divide both sides by 6. This gives you x = -3

The final answer is x = -3
