On George's block, the ratio of cars to houses is 8 to 5. There are 32 cars, how many houses are there?

Step-by-step explanation:

20 houses

20

Step-by-step explanation:

You would set it up as 8:5=32:x. Since you are multiplying the number of cars by 4, you should do the same with houses. This gives 32:20, meaning there are 20 houses on the block.

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
