Answer:

The top shelf is 5 feet, the middle shelf is 5.5 feet and the bottom shelf is 9.5 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t= length of the top shelf, m = length of middle shelf and b = length of bottom shelf.

Therefore:

t = m - 1/2; m = t  + 1/2

Also, b = 2t - 1/2

The total of the three shelves is 20 feet, therefore:

t + m + b = 20

Substituting:

t + t + 1/2 + 2t - 1/2 = 20

4t = 20

t = 20/4

t = 5 feet

m = t + 1/2 = 5 + 1/2 = 5.5 feet

b = 2t - 1/2 = 2(5) - 1/2 = 9.5 feet

The top shelf is 5 feet, the middle shelf is 5.5 feet and the bottom shelf is 9.5 feet

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

4 dozens

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Find Eleanor and Joanna's ratio of eggs to milk</em>

Eleanor:

<em>Dozen eggs : gallons of milk</em>

9 : 3

3 : 1

Joanna:

<em>Dozen eggs : gallons of milk</em>

2 : 2

1 : 1

<em>They gather one gallon of milk each which means Joanna has 1 dozen eggs and Eleanor has 3 dozens of eggs.</em>

Total dozen of eggs = 3 + 1 = 4

Therefore, total dozen of eggs the family have per week is 4 dozens.
