Let's start with #18

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

how many blue cards does Aquil have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`The ratio of blue cards to red cards is 8:9` this translates into the equation 40/x = 8/9 where x is the unknown number of red cards that Aquil has. Solve for x and tell me what you get.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

45

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yep x = 45 is correct

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so there are 45 red cards in Aquil's deck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so in total Aquil's haved 85 cards

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes 40+45 = 85

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

x = amount of water you need to solve the equation 4/2.5 = 10/x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10x2.5 = 25 cups of water

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so 4x = 25 what is x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4/10

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
