2/3:2 = 1/3:1 The last one is in simplest form.
Let x and y represent the numbers of gallons used by the 40 mpg and 35 mpg cars, respectively.
.. x +y = 40 . . . . . . . . . . .total consumption is 40 gallons
.. 40x +35y = 1525 . . . . total miles driven = 1525
Multiply the first equation by 40 and subtract the second.
.. 40(x +y) -(40x +35y) = 40(40) -(1525)
.. 5y = 75
.. y = 15
.. x = 40 -15 = 25
The 40 mpg car consumed 25 gallons.
The 35 mpg car consumed 15 gallons.

Since Joann receives $10 per hour for the first 35 hours, so she receives $350 (35 times $10) before she starts receiving extra hours.
Since she received $515, we know that she worked extra hours.
Let's use the variable x to represent the number of extra hours worked.
So we can write the following equation for the total payment received:

She worked 11 extra hours. Adding this to the 35 regular hours, so she worked for 46 hours.
