Solve using equivalent ratios. Leila and Joe are two partners in a business. Leila makes $5 in profits for every $9 that
Jo makes. If Jo makes $36 profit on the first item they sell, how much profit does Leila
make?

$20

Step-by-step explanation:

Leila to Jo: $5/$9

Leila to Jo: x/$36

5/9 = x/36

Cross multiply.

9x = 5 * 36

Divide both sides of the equation by 9.

x = 5 * 4

x = 20

$20

$6.42

step-by-step explanation:

c = 0.429t

step-by-step explanation:

the constant rate at which carlos harvests cassava is 35 minutes per 15 cassavas 15/35 = 0.429 cassava per minute

therefore, an equation that models the number of cassava (c) that harvest carlos in a time (t) is the following:

where t is the time in minutes.

this means that when 35 minutes have elapsed 15 cassava have been harvested, at 70 minutes 30 cassava have been harvested and so on.
