The first option is greater.
First, find the simplified ratio of the given ratio:
Number of pirates: 22
Number of ships: 2
Divide 22 with 2 to find the ratio: 22/2 = 11
For every ship there is, there will be 11 pirates.
Now, find the ratio for the other questions:
IF there are 5 ships: 5 x 11 = 55
If there are 5 ships, there will be 55 pirates.
If there are 11 ships: 11 x 11 = 121
If there are 11 ships, there will be 121 pirates.

Because a line always goes past the y-intercept and x-intercept. It's not always both, it can sometimes just be the x-intercept or the y-intercept.
When a line intersects these points, for example if a line was to intersect the x-axis then y would be equal to 0, and the opposite for the y-axis. If a line was to intersect the y-axis x would be equal to 0.
Therefore by using that knowledge, and the equation of the line [ y=mx+c or y-y1=m(x-x1) ], we can find the equation of our line. Of course you would need the gradient of that line (the value "m").
Horizontal distance = 48'
difference in elevation = 18"-6" = 12" = 1'
Slope of the sewer line = rise/run = 1/48 = 0.0208 = 2.08%
I hope you can read this, and I hope you understand how I did 7. I probably overworked it, and it was possibly a simpler way to get it.
