Jen bought: 4x
Carol bought 5y

4x=5y

Y=x-$1.75


1.75 x 5=8.75

5y=5x-$8.75

4x = 5x - $8.75
X=$8.75

One of Jens items = $8.75

(1) The ratios 18:3 and 6:1 are equivalent. Why?
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Because if you take 18:3 and divide both sides by 3, you will get 6:1

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 18:3 divided by 3 on both sides equals 6:1, also 6:1 times 3 on both sides equals 18:3.
