Answer 18

Isn't it 1/2 dollar?

You need to reread what we have covered until you understand it.

Answer 40

so is it 1/45=1.75/210

Answer 41

Write this down:

45 seconds = 45/60 minutes = .75 minutes.
So 1 minute and 45 seconds = 1 minute + .75 minutes= 1.75 minutes
210 beats in 1.75 minutes =210 beats/1.75 minutes = 210/1.75 beats per minute = 120 beats per minute.

Answer 42

ok
