<span>The average length of a bike (including the length of both wheels) is about 68 inches.For finding the true answer we must follow the following convertion rule: 1 inch is equivalent to 0.02 yard, so 68 inches equal to 1.88 yards. Consequently, the value nearest 1.88 yards is 1.5 yards, so the answer is the choice A: 1.5 yards. </span>
They are equivalent because 4:5 can both be multiplied by 2 making 8:10.
Can barely see the questions ! Retake a picture if you can.
2x + 3(8 - 3x) = 3
2x + 24 -9x = 3
-7x = -21
x = 3
y = 8 - 3x
y = 8 - 3(3)
y = 8-9
y = -1
Check the math:
2(3) + 3(-1) = 6 - 3 = 3
