@Vocaloid
the independent variable (in this case, time) should only be 1 unit so you would want to find the $$$ per 1 month
and how can I do that
total amount of $$$ / total months
$400 in 10 month x in 1 month
x = 1×400/10 = ?
that is all
40
yes exactly
good so 40 per month
total amount of money / (amount per lawn) = number of lawns
40 lawns?
good
you just have to see which choices equal 6/26 when you divide the top number by the bottom number or you can look for choices where both the numerator and denominator of 6/26 have been multiplied or divided by the same factor
for example, 3/13 is equal to 6/26 since 6 and 26 were both divided by 2 to get 3 and 13
notice what other ratio you get when you take 6/26, then multiply the numerator + denominator both by 2
B is another one
good so A+B are your solutions
just have to cross multiply and solve for x

35?
good
this is kind of hard to explain but since you are going from week to hour the conversion pathway is week ---> days ---> hours you can stop at hours, so anything with seconds or minutes is not helpful here
so b c and d?
you wouldn't use 60 minutes per hour because you are neither given, nor asked to find, minutes so just the last 2
think of "315 inches" as the numerator. what can you multiply that will allow you to cancel out "inches" and put "feet" in the numerator instead? |dw:1547945767042:dw|
B?
good
any ideas? this follows similar logic to our previous example |dw:1547946137575:dw| if you want to eliminate "meters" from the numerator and make "feet" the new numerator, would you multiply by (3.28feet/meter) or (1 meter/3.28 feet)?
multiply by (3.28feet/meter)
good, so then you'd just multiply 1700 meters * (3.28 feet/meter) to get your solution, cancelling out meters
I got 1 699.5648
after you cancel out units it's just 1700*3.28
|dw:1547946899418:dw|
I multiplied 1700*3.28 and got 5576
so C
how about number 9?
similar logic, use conversion factors to go from hours --> minutes --> seconds, remember that there are 60 minutes per hour, 60 seconds per minute
B?
good
