Answer:
3. 72= (x)+(x+1)+(x+2) where x= the smallest number
72=3x+3
-3 -3
69=3x
/3 /3
x=23
x+1=24
x+2=25
smallest is 23
4. 48= (x)+(x+2)+(x+4)
48= 3x+6
-6 -6
42=3x
/3 /3
x=14
x+2=16
x+4=18
smallest is 14
5. all erasers were the same cost
25= 4x+5 (x= cost of erasers)
-5 -5
20=4x
/4 /4
x=5
each cost $5
6. b= boxes
22= b/2 +7
-7 -7
15=b/2
multiply both sides by 2 to cancel the denominator
30=b
30 boxes originally
7. 40= total
8= left
2= balls given to each
x=number of friends
40= 2x+8
-8 -8
32=2x
/2 /2
x=16
she has 16 friends
8. 12= left
a= total allowance
12= (a/2) +4
-4 -4
8= a/2
multiply both sides by 2 to cancel the denominator
a= $16
she had an allowance of $16
9. 4 (2) = amount that her four children recieved
10=amount she took for herself
x= original
x= 4(2) + 10
x= 8 +10
x=18
she started with 18 candies
10. a= age
244= 400 - 2a
-400 -400
-156= -2a
/-2 /-2
a= 78
they are 78 years old
11. c= comic books
36= c/2 + 16
-16 -16
20=c/2
multiply both sides by 2 to cancel the denominator
c=40
she started with 40 comic books
12. b= students in buses
472= 9b + 4
-4 -4
468=9b
/9 /9
b= 52
52 students went in each bus
13. h= hats
17= h/2 +5
-5 -5
12=h/2
multiply both sides by 2 to cancel the denominator
h=24
she had 24 hats on monday
14. p= pies the club made
60= (p+4)/5
multiply both sides by 5 to cancel the denominator
300=p+4
-4 -4
p= 296
the club made 296 pies

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Given:</u>
2/20 : 1/40
A). First re-write the ratio as follows;
(i) Change the ratio sign to division (÷). i.e
2/20 ÷ 1/40
(ii) Solve the expression by changing the division to multiplication(×). This also means you will need to swap the numerator and the denominator of the second term. i.e (1 / 40) becomes (40 / 1)
(2/20) × (40 / 1) = 
× 
=
B). Now convert the result from above to unit rate. A unit rate is a rate in which the denominator has a value of 1.
So to convert to unit rate, we keep simplifying until the denominator becomes 1.
And since the denominator is already 1, there is no need for further simplification.
Therefore, 2/20 : 1/40 to unit rate is
