An equavalent ratio of 12\24 is 3\4
Answer:
If you compare this to 
, then 
and 
.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given 
and we are asked to find the value of 
.
So we will need to find 
.
Square both sides:
Expand using identity: 
.
Let's go back to the full .
If you compare this to , then and .
Answer:
6 shirts
Step-by-step explanation:
The cost of a shirt and 2 ties is ...
$18.50 +2(7.50) = $33.50
For $205, Frank can buy $205/$33.50 = 6.12 sets of shirt and ties.
Frank can buy 6 shirts (and 12 ties) for an amount less than $205.
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
Frank's cost will be $201 for that purchase.
Let the speed of the boat be x
so going against the current the speed is x-7
going with the current the speed is x+7
let the distance be d
time = distance / speed
time to go against the current = d/(x-7)
time to go with the current = d/(x+7)
time going against the current is 3 times going <span>with the current
</span>
d/(x-7) = 3d/(x+7)
⇒⇒⇒ divide by d
1/(x-7)
= 3/(x+7)
x+7
= 3(x-7)
x+7 = 3x - 21
2x = 28
x = 14
So, the speed of the boat in still water is = 14 mph
