Using proportions, it is found that the same job will take Mrs. Squirrel 6 hours.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.
The times are given as follows:
- Mr. Pigeon: 30 minutes = Half an hour = 1/48 day.
The ratios are as follows:
Turtle/Squirrel = Squirrel/Pigeon.
Hence:
x = 1/4.
It takes 1/4 of a day for Mrs. Squirrel to do the job, hence 1/4 x 24 hours = 6 hours.

The number may be 6 because 6 • 3 = 18, and 2 more than 18 would be 20
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's write out our equation:
I want to isolate x on one side, so first, I'll add 4 to both sides to remove the -4 from next to 2x:
Notice that I combined like terms with the -4 and 4 (to get 0) and the 6 and 4 on the right side (to get 10). Next, I'll add 3x to both sides:
And then I'll add like terms:
Now, all we have to do is divide both sides by 5:
And there's our answer. Hopefully that's helpful! :)
Answer:
x=16°
Step-by-step explanation:
5*x-30=2*(x+18)
For the second, I'd say it is:
5*x-30=2*x+18
Let's solve both.
5*x-30=2*(x+18)
5x-30=2x+36
3x=66
x=22
5*x-30=2*x+18
3x+48
x=16°
Here are the outcomes. You could also a tree diagram for this:
There are 49 outcomes for this problem. Therefore, 7/49 possible probability that 2 could be orange. To check if i'm correct, use a tree diagram or a compound principle.
