Jose swims 3 laps in a pool every 2 minutes. How long would it take him to swim 27 laps? Group of answer choices 8 minutes 9 minutes 16 minutes 18 minutes

18 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

x =18

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use ratios to solve

3 laps           27 laps

  =

2 minutes    x minutes

Using cross products

3x = 2 * 27

3x = 54

Divide by 3

3x/3 = 54/3

x =18

answer: (c) m∠qpo + (2x + 16)° = 180°

step-by-step explanation:

the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary.

so, ∠o + ∠q = 180°   and   ∠p + ∠r = 180°

since ∠r = 2x + 16°, we can use substitution as follows:

∠p + ∠r = 180°

∠p + (2x + 16)° = 180°
