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?)

79 is 4 below 83 so her next grade needs to be 4 above in order to get an average of 83. The answer is 87.
the first option is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
4c + 6a <= 120 [building hours]
4c + 4a <= 100 [testing hours]
4 * 20 + 6 * 6 <= 120
80 + 36 <= 120
116 <= 120
true, they have enough building hours
4 * 20 + 4 * 6 <= 100
80 + 24 <= 100
104 <= 100
false, they won't have enough testing hours
