I think you posted this question more than once..
Ratios are fractions. Equivalent means equal, if you change one set of numbers, you have to change the second set of numbers so then that Ratio or Equivalent fraction stays equal on both sides.
The value of A is 9. This is because 40-13= 27
3x?=27 3x9=27
Answer:
3 minutes and 30 seconds
Step-by-step explanation:
7-5 = 2
3/2 = 1.5 gallons that empty per each minute
1.5 times 3 (minutes) = 4.5 gallons emptied
Remaining gallons to empty = 0.5
0.5 gallons to empty will take 30 seconds
I hope this helps :)
