@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

the independent variable (in this case, time) should only be 1 unit so you would want to find the $$$ per 1 month

Nicole:

and how can I do that

Vocaloid:

total amount of $$$ / total months

jhonyy9:

$400 in 10 month x in 1 month


x = 1×400/10 = ?

jhonyy9:

that is all

Nicole:

40

jhonyy9:

yes exactly

Vocaloid:

good so 40 per month

Nicole:

Vocaloid:

total amount of money / (amount per lawn) = number of lawns

Nicole:

40 lawns?

Vocaloid:

good

Vocaloid:

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

Vocaloid:

for example, 3/13 is equal to 6/26 since 6 and 26 were both divided by 2 to get 3 and 13

Vocaloid:

notice what other ratio you get when you take 6/26, then multiply the numerator + denominator both by 2

Nicole:

B is another one

Vocaloid:

good so A+B are your solutions

Nicole:

got it http://prntscr.com/m9hq44

Vocaloid:

just have to cross multiply and solve for x

Vocaloid:

Nicole:

35?

Vocaloid:

good

Nicole:

Vocaloid:

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

Nicole:

so b c and d?

Vocaloid:

you wouldn't use 60 minutes per hour because you are neither given, nor asked to find, minutes so just the last 2

Nicole:

Vocaloid:

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|

Nicole:

B?

Vocaloid:

good

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/m9hz4s

Vocaloid:

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)?

Nicole:

multiply by (3.28feet/meter)

Vocaloid:

good, so then you'd just multiply 1700 meters * (3.28 feet/meter) to get your solution, cancelling out meters

Nicole:

I got 1 699.5648

Vocaloid:

after you cancel out units it's just 1700*3.28

Vocaloid:

|dw:1547946899418:dw|

Nicole:

I multiplied 1700*3.28 and got 5576

Nicole:

so C

Nicole:

how about number 9?

Vocaloid:

similar logic, use conversion factors to go from hours --> minutes --> seconds, remember that there are 60 minutes per hour, 60 seconds per minute

Nicole:

B?

Vocaloid:

good
