The ratio is the relationship of two numbers. Here is an example, you have 2 apples and 6 bananas. To compare the ratio between the apples and the bananas we create a ratio, so the ratio would be 2 to 6, or 2:6, or 2/6.
A rate is a little different than the ratio, it is a special kind of ratio. That is a comparison of measurements that have different units, like pounds and quarters.
2(x-6y+4z=2)
2x+4y-8z=16
2x-12y+8z=4
2x+4y-8z=16
4x-8y=20
x-2y=5
4x-8y=20
-4x+8y=-20

The answer is 10 days
(after 4 days, they still needed to install 360 chairs, 600-360=240 - meaning they installed 240 chairs in 4 days. to find out how many chairs they installed in 1 day, divide 240 by 4 and you find they installed 60 chairs per day. Then divide 360 by 60 to find the remaining days needed to install the rest of the chairs, which is 6 days then add it onto the 4 days already completed)
