Answer:
25p, 18p, 72
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>Answer:</h3>
- 28/100 = 7/25
- 100/28 = 25/7
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
The wording "the ratio of A to B" means A/B.
Here, "the ratio of the weight of silicon to the weight of crust" means ...
... (28 tons)/(100 tons)
Canceling common factors (and common units), this is ...
... 28/100 = 7/25
___
Then "the ratio of the weight of crust to the weight of silicon" means ...
... (100 tons)/(28 tons) = 100/28 = 25/7
Answer:
45
Step-by-step explanation:
These work problems are always done in terms of fractions ie if both (Kevin & Eric) took 30mins to mow and Kevin took 1.5hrs (90mins) alone then we can make an equation like below
1/time took for both = 1/time took for Kevin + 1/time took for Eric
1/30 = 1/90+1/x ==> calling time took for Kevin x
solving the above 1/x = 1/30-1/90
1/x=2/90
x=45
