a + m = 30
a = m - 8
(m - 8) + m = 30
2m - 8 = 30
2m = 30 + 8
2m = 38
m = 38/2
m = 19
a = m - 8
a = 19 - 8
a = 11
so Amy has $11 and Maria has $ 19
1 yard= 36 inches
10 yards* 36= 360 inches.
360 inches= 360 inches
So, 10 yards and 360 inches are equal.
You have to multiply to find it
To solve this question, first cross multiply
Let ? = x
4/9 = x/81
4(81) = 9(x)
Simplify.
81 x 4 = 324
324 = 9x
Isolate the x, divide 9 from both sides
324/9 = 9x/9
x = 324/9
x = 36
4/9 = 36/81
36 is your answer
hope this helps!
