Set up a proportion:

3/4 = x/12

Cross multiply:

36 = 4x

Divide 4 to both sides:

x = 9

12 rabbits
white to all=3 to 4

that means that there are 3 white units and 4 all units
so if 12=all then
12=4 units
divide by 4
3=1 unit
if whit=3 units then
3=1 unit
3 times 3=9=3 units

9 white rabbits
and 3 non white rabits

I don’t know if you meant 7 hours or 7 1/2 hours, but if it was in 7 hours, the answer would be around 15 square feet. If it was 7 1/2 hours, it would be 14 square feet.

The price of grapes, g, is $2.19 per pound. The price of bananas, b, is $0.59 per pound. The price of pears, p, is $1.49 per pou

Part A.
Before you can write any sort of expression, you need to define variables. "grapes g" is not a definition, so the exercise seems meaningless as written. It seems the intent is to ...
let g, b, p represent the numbers of pounds of grapes, bananas, and pears, respectively.

Then, the total cost of some weight of fruit is
2.19g + 0.59b + 1.49p

Part B.
For g=3, b=3, p=2, the expression evaluates to
2.19*3 +0.59*3 +1.49*2 = 11.32

The total cost of 3 pounds of grapes, 3 pounds of bananas, and 2 pounds of pears is ...
$11.32

215. If you divide 100,000 by 467 you get 214.132. Since you can’t have .132 of a person you need to round up to 215
