Hello there.
Question: <span>Mr. Nicolas is putting up strings of blue and white lights for the holidays. The ratio of blue to white lights is 5 to 6. If he has 77 strings, how many strings are white lights?
Answer: 5:6
Add the numbers:
5 + 6 = 11
Divide this number by the total:
77/11 = 7
Multiply values by this number:
5 x 7 = 35
6 x 7 = 42
To check:
35 + 42 = 77.
Therefore your answer is 42.

Answer:
x1 = 275 miles (shorter)
x2 = 318 miles (longer)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x1 = be the shorter route
v1 = speed of the car in the shorter route
t1 = time it took to cover shorter route
x2 = the longer route
v2 = speed of the car in the longer route
t2 = time it took to cover longer route
x1 + 43 = x2 (1)
v2 = v1 -2 (2)
v2 = x2/t2 = x2/6
v1 = x1/t1 = x1/5
This means that
v2 = v1 -2 =>
x2/6 = x1/5 -2
The system of equations results
a. x1 -x2 = -43
b. x1/5 - x2/6 = 2
Solving this system of equations, we find that
x1 = 275 miles
x2 = 318 miles
You should calculate like this: 595/5= $119

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
The first marker is labeled 208708; the second (consecutive) one 208709
Discussion:
Call the first mile marker "m". Then
m + (m+1) = 417417 => combine like terms
2m + 1 = 417417 => subtract 1 from both sides
2m = 417416 => divide both sides by 2
m = 417416/2 = 208708
Note: m and (m+1) are consecutive as they immediately follow each other in the set of integers.
Thank you,
MrB
