Yu, Nailah, and Elena each bought between 7 and 9 yards of ribbon. Yu bought 3 pieces of ribbon. Nailah bought 5 pieces of ribbon. Elena bought 6 pieces of ribbon. The lengths of ribbons are given below. Drag ribbons to the box below each person's name to show what they could have bought.

4/6 = 2/3

so it should take 3/3 hours per man. so 9 hours is the answer 3*3 =9

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. let's solve the first equation for y:

step 2: substitute that equation into the other equation, and solve for x.

step 3: substitute x = 4 x = 4 x=4 into one of the original equations, and solve for y.

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of red paint to blue paint is always 9/7. that means that, whatever x's value, (4x+12)/(4x-4) has that same ratio. so, set up an equation and cross-multiply to solve for x:

9/7 = (4x+12)/(4x-4)

9(4x-4) = 7(4x+12)

36x - 36 = 28x + 84

8x - 36 = 84

8x = 120

x = 15
