Answer:
39 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
If we assume that the 3.5 cups of concentrate make 3.5+3 = 6.5 cups of tea, we can use the proportion ...
6.5/3.5 = x/21
to find the x cups of tea Ahab can make with 21 cups of concentrate.
Multiplying by 21, we get ...
x = 21(6.5/3.5) = 39
Ahab can make 39 cups of tea.

He said he accidentally sent this so I just want everyone who reads this to have a good rest of their day:)
Step-by-step explanation:
Write and solve an equation of ratios:
5 *10^9 years 100 m
------------------- = --------------
5 * 10^3 yrs x
Reducing the first fraction,
100 m
10^6 = ----------
x
100 m
Solving for x, x = ------------- = 10^(-4) m, or [10^(-1)] * [10^(-3))]
10^6
this comes out to one tenth of 1 millimeter.
Not really sure what you are looking for, but this is how to solve equations such as these.
Let:
x = number of pounds of granola
y = numer of pounds of walnuts
The equation he can use to compute the total cost would be:
$2.00x + $6.00y = $12.00
We know that he bought 3 pounds of granola, so we plug in that for the x value:
$2.00(3) + $6.00y = $12.00
$6.00 + $6.00y = $12.00
To isolate the unknown value which is y, we first need to subtract $6.00 from both sides of the equation:
$6.00 + $6.00y - $6.00 = $12.00 - $6.00
$6.00y = $6.00
Then we divide both sides by $6.00:
$6.00y/$6.00 = $6.00/$6.00
y = 1
So the number of bags of walnuts he can buy is 1 bag.
