The overall length is given as 22.
The line is split into 2 parts X and 3X.
So we have X + 3X = 22
Add X and #X to get 4X:
4X = 22
Divide both sides by 4 to get X:
X = 22 /4
X = 5.5
Now we know what X is so now replace x with 5.5 and solve for LM:
LM = 3X = 3*5.5 = 16.5
7300-5500=1800 needs to come from salespeople. To make at least 7300, the salespeople need to make at least 1800, which means:
300 x number of people >= 1800
Number of people >= 6
C is correct
Part A
Your problem statement already shows you the conversion.
Bottles purchased: 5×10¹⁰
Bottles recycled: 8.3×10⁹
Part B
The ratio of bottles purchased to bottles recycled is
... (5×10¹⁰)/(8.3×10⁹) = 0.6×10¹ = 6.0
The number of bottles purchased is 6 times the number of bottles recycle.
