1 pound = 16 ounces

8 * 16 = 128 ounces

Divide 36 books into two groups so the ratio is 5 to 7. (Use the double number line strategy)

lutik1710 [3]

A ratio of 5:7 means out of 12 books, 5 are in one category and 7 are in another. (The “category” isn’t specified in this problem.)

So here we’re STARTING with 36 books; we want to find a ratio that is equal to 5:7 and adds up to 36. Well 36 = 3(12), and so if we multiply each number in the ratio by 3 as well, we might get what we want. Doing that gives us 15:21, which adds up to 36 and is equal to 5:7. Boom, that’s the answer.

P.S. Here’s a question you can think about: why do ratios stay the same when you multiply each number by the same amount? (For example, why is 3:1 the same as 6:2?)

Hi guys . pls help me with this

Step-by-step explanation:

The upstream speed is S / t₁, and the downstream speed is S / t₂.

If we say f is the speed of the fish in calm water, and r is the speed of the river, then:

f − r = S / t₁

f + r = S / t₂

If we say T is the time it takes to cross the river, then the speed perpendicular to the river is ℓ/T, the speed parallel to the river is r, and the overall speed is f.

Using Pythagorean theorem:

f² = (ℓ/T)² + r²

f² − r² = (ℓ/T)²

(f − r) (f + r) = (ℓ/T)²

(S / t₁) (S / t₂) = (ℓ/T)²

S² / (t₁ t₂) = (ℓ/T)²

(t₁ t₂) / S² = (T/ℓ)²

√(t₁ t₂) / S = T/ℓ

T = ℓ√(t₁ t₂) / S
