Step-by-step explanation:

So bassically, when they say the word "to" in a ratio it means something to something right? So bassically, if it is boys to girls, we clearly know that there are 40 boys and 16 girls. So 40 boys to 16 girls, it would look like this

40:16. But thats not all! We can simplify this ratio. Think of it as a fraction that you are reducing to the minimum amount. The answers would be

40:16

20:8

10:4

5:2

*cannot be simplified any further*

Cheers!

A truck rental is $30 plus $.30 /mi. Find out how many miles Ken traveled if his bill was $55.20 .

Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon:

Let's take this problem step-by-step:

Let's consider the information given:

rental price: $30 + $0.30/mile
total bill for Ken: $55.20

Let's setup an equation for the cost

set 'x' as number of miles traveled

$\hookrightarrow Cost = 30 + 0.3x$

set that equal to the total cost or bill and solve

$30 + 0.3x = 55.2\\0.3x = 25.2\\x=84$

Ken must have traveled 84 miles

Answer: 84 miles

Hope that helps!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

By order of operations, we first evaluate the parentheses, which is 2 * 1 = 2. We then evaluate the brackets, which are 3 / 2 = $\frac{3}{2}$ . Finally, $\frac{3}{2}$ * $\frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{6}{6}$ or 1.
