Answer=7:13

Kenny's Weight*6/7=Melvin's Weight

So, for example, if Melvin's weigh was 7...

Kenny's Weight*6/7=7
divide both sides by 6/7
Kenny Weight=6

So we can say that Melvin's weight to Kenny's weight is 7:6

The boys total weights would be...
7+6=13


So Melvin's weight over the total weight of the two boys is:

7:13

Answer:

\frac{7}{13}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> Melvin's weight

y------> Kenny's weight

we know that

y=\frac{6}{7}x

x+y=x+\frac{6}{7}x=\frac{13}{7}x -----> total weight of the two boys

Find the ratio of Melvin's weight to the total weight of the two boys

ratio=\frac{x}{(\frac{13}{7}x)} =\frac{7}{13}

You have been averaging 55 sales per day. Per our new policy, everyone needs to increase his or her sales per day by 10% in the
Mariulka [41]
To find your new number of sales per month, you will need to find the number of sales you have per month (based on 30 days per month).  

55 x 20 = 1650 sales.

Than, you will need to calculate what 10% of this is and add it to your original sales number.

0.1 (10%) x 1650 = 165

1650 + 165 = 1815

You will need approximately 1815 sales based on the 30 day month.
