You start by cross multiplying:
9 x 8 = 72
This is considered the fraction on the left's value.
You do the same for the other side:
10 x 7 = 70
This is considered the value of the fraction 7/8
72 has a greater value than 70.
Therefore, 9/10 is larger.
Answer:
Inequalities are different from equations. If you multiply or divide both sides of an equation by the same negative number, the equation remains the same, but If you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by the same negative number, the inequality reverses.
The students will earn $180 by washing cars for 9 hours.
In 3 hours the students will earn...
$5 x 12 = $60
5 dollars x 12 cars = 60 dollars
So in 3 hours the group of students will earn $60
In 9 hours the students will earn...
$60 x 3 = $180
Since the students will earn $60 per every 3 hours, you multiply $60 with 3 because if you divide 9 hours by 3 hours you will get 3. The answer you get by multiplying 60 by 3 is 180. Therefore the students can earn $180 from washing cars.
I hope this helps!
Combine the two equations in the right amounts to eliminate y :
-2 (2x + 3y) + (3x + 6y) = -2 (17) + 30
-4x - 6y + 3x + 6y = -34 + 30
-x = -4
x = 4
Solve for y :
2x + 3y = 17
8 + 3y = 17
3y = 9
y = 3
This becomes 10:22, then 5:11.
