Answer:
2:3 is the simplified ratio
In order to solve this equation you could use guess and check with multiple choice, or you can set up a system of equations.
First we must define our variables:
x=price of taco
y=price of burrito
Michael bought 4 tacos (4x) and (+) and Burrito (y) for $9.50 (=9.5)
4x+y=9.50
Noah bought two tacos (2x) and (+) three burritos (3y) for (=) $11 (11)
2x+3y=11
To solve this system of equations you can easily see substitution as the easiest method. For substitution we must isolate one variable:
4x+y=9.50
y=-4x+9.5
We can now replace the y in the other equation:
2x+3(-4x+9.5)=11
Then solve this equation to get the price of a taco (x)
2x-12x+28.5=11
-10x=-17.5
x=1.75
The price of a taco would be $1.75
Answer:
15 games
Step-by-step explanation:
12X3=36 5X3=15
8x5=40
So the car is 40 inches long
