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.

si franco comió 8/3 de pizza y Fabián comió 5/6 de la misma pizza. ¿quien comió más ? si quedó 4/9 de pizza.​
devlian [24]

Answer:

Franco comió 8/3 de pizza.

Fabián comió 5/6 de pizza.

Queremos saber quien comió más.

Entonces básicamente queremos ver cuál número es más grande, 8/3 o 5/6,

Podemos reescribir el primero como:

8/3 = (2 + 3 + 3)/3 = 2/3 + 3/3 + 3/3 = 2/3 + 1 + 1

      = 2 + 2/3

En cambio, para el número 5/6, el numerador es menor que el denominador, entonces sabemos que:

5/6  < 1

Claramente podemos ver que 8/3 > 5/6

Entonces podemos concluir que Franco comió más.

Ellen read a book a day for 10 weeks. How many books did<br> she read in all?
a_sh-v [17]

1 week = 7 days

10 weeks = 10×7 days

= 70 days

if Ellen reads 1 book in a day

Therefore,

1 day = 1 book

70 days = 70×1

= 70 books.

Thus Ellen reads 70 books in 10 weeks.

Hope helps
