125 minutes, or 2 hours and 5 minutes.

\frac{5}7 = \frac{x}{175}
cross multiply
5*175=7x
875=7x
\frac{875}7=x
125=x

Set up a proportion pages/pages= minutes/ minutes
7/175=5/x 
Note: x is the unkown variable or how long it will take him to read a 175 page book.
--Now do the math-- or cross multiply-- 
7(x)=175(5) 
reduce it down
7(x)=875
divide both sides by 7 in order to get variable x alone
x=125 
So it will take Jose 125 minutes to read the entire 175 page book.

A ship is carrying gold bars and silver bars in the ratio 13:17. The ship's load
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Using proportions, considering the weight of each bar and the ratio, it is found that the ship is carrying 52 gold bars.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

Each bar weighs 5 kg, and the total weight is of 600 kg, hence the number of bars is given by:

n = 600/5 = 120.

The proportion of gold bars is given by:

p = 13/(13 + 17) = 13/30

Hence, out of 120 bars, the number of gold bars is given by:

nG = 120 x 13/30 = 4 x 13 = 52.
