Question

Please give me a solid answer and please give steps on how you got the answer, please

Answer 1

All answers are the pic.

When you are lining up the ratios, make sure they are aligning each other with the same unit.

Answer 2

13) Ok so if you run 1 mile in 8 minutes, the ratio will be 1:8. So you do

8(5) = 40 minutes

You take 40 minutes to run 5 miles.

( because of every 8 minutes you run one mile so you will multiply the amount of minutes(8) by the amount of miles(5).)

14) The ratio for this one is 1:12.5.

You work backwards to find this answer

400/32 (divide 32 into 400)

In one hour you earn 12.5.

To be sure check your answer like this

12.5*32= 400

15) For this one I’m not too sure (someone correct me if I’m wrong) I think the 24 oz would be a better buy.


The 24 oz cost $1.40 while the 32 oz cost $3.09 thats a $1.69 difference in price. If you wanted to get three loafs but you only have 5 dollars. Your best choice would be the 24oz because

$1.40*3 = $4.20
$3.09*3 = $9.27

In this case you will get three loafs for just under 5 dollars making the 24 oz a better buy.

( you multiply the price of one loaf by the amount of loafs you want)

Hope this helped :)
