Answer:

5:7

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to set up a ratio. You have the number of shirts (15) to skirts AND pants (so 12+9=21). This gives you both sides of your ratio 15:21. You can simplify by dividing both sides by 3 (greatest common factor) and get 5:7

Jon has to pay $7.00 admission for the skating rink in $1.50 per hour to rent rollerblades. How many hours can he skate for $19?

eduard

Answer: 8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information

Admission fee = $7.00

Hour rent fee = $1.50

Number of hours = h

Total fee = $19

Set equation according to the given information

Total fee = admission fee + (hours) × (hour rend fee)

Substitute values into the equation

19 = 7 + 1.5h

Subtract 7 on both sides

19 - 7 = 7 + 1.5h - 7

12 = 1.5h

Divide 1.5 on both sides

12 / 1.5 = 1.5h / 1.5

$\boxed{h=8}$

Hope this helps!! :)
