Answer:

15 and 12

$\text{Hello there! :]}$

$\large\boxed{125 \text { vases}}$

$\text{To solve, find the proportion of successes from the total:}\\\\20 / 25 = 4 / 5\\\\\text{Set up a proportion to find the # of vases necessary to complete 100 successfully:}\\\\\frac{20}{25} = \frac{100}{x} \\\\\text{Cross multiply to solve:}\\\\20 * x = 100 * 25\\\\20x = 2500\\\\\text{Divide both sides by 20:}\\\\x = 125 \text{ vases}$

sashaice [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

we don't know what level it was originally at so well use a variable for the unknown number. If you take 6 inches and do that 6 times for each month you will have 36 inches lost so w= water i = inches

w-(6i x 6) = 36

This isn't the best explanation but I hope this helps you
