In order to divide $306 into the ratio of 9 to 5 to 3, first you have to make each section of the ratio represented by a variable, and put it into an equation.
9x + 5x + 3x = 306
Our next step is to simplify the left side of the equation by combining all of the like terms, the ones that contain variables.
17x = 306
Finally, to solve this equation, you have to divide both sides by 17 to isolate the variable x on the left side of the equation.
x = 18
However, this is not our answer as it isn't in a ratio format and doesn't really make sense. To find our ratio, we have to multiply each of our initial numbers (9, 5, and 3) by our variable, x.
9 * 18 = 162
5 * 18 = 90
3 * 18 = 54
You can verify that these numbers are correct because if you add them together you get 306.
Your final ratio is 162:90:54.
Hope this helps! :)

Answer:
It's 3/2p!
Step-by-step explanation:
Because Helen do the same number of exercises on 2 days, the time to do and the average rate are inversely proportional!
So, if on Monday, Helen's average rate is p then on the next day, her average rate is:
p × 3 ÷ 2 =
=3/2p

Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
Basic Pay = $40
Commission for 1 pair of shoes = $4.50
Let x be the number of shoes he needs to sell.
40 + 4.5x ≥ 112
4.5x ≥ 72
x ≥ 16
Answer: He must sell at least 16 pairs of shoes.
