Set this up as a ratio putting inches on top and feet on bottom. Then your first ratio would be 1/25 since 1 inch is the same as 25 feet. In between them goes an equals sign and the the other ratio has an x on top (because inches is what we are looking for) and the 1500 on the bottom. Cross multiply to solve for x:
1(1500) = x(25). Divide both sides by 25 to get 60
First you have to multiply the 0.6 of the small shakers times two which gives us 1.2 the amount of salt of the large shakers. divide the 18.6 by 1.2 which is 15.5 the amount going into the 8 shakers. Then subtract 15.5 from 18.6 which gives us 3.1. Then you divide that by 0.6 = 5. 5 small shakers can be filled with the remaining salt.
Answer:
Alison wins against Kevin by 0.93 s
Step-by-step explanation:
Alison covers the last 1/4 of the distance in 3 seconds, at a constant acceleration 
, we have the following equation of motion
where s (m) is the total distance, ta = 3 s is the time
Similarly, Kevin overs the last 1/3 of the distance in 4 seconds, at a constant acceleration 
, we have the following equation of motion:
tk = 4 s is the time
Since we can conclude that 
, so Alison would win.
The time it takes for Alison to cover the entire track
The time it takes for Kevin to cover the entire track
So Alison wins against Kevin by 6.93 - 6 = 0.93 s
