The rate Ritz can eat apples is 8/15 apples per minute.
Set the rate (which is measured apples / minutes) equal to 16 apples / t minutes.
(8/15) = (16/t)
Cross multiply.
16*15 = 8t
t = 20
The answer is 30 minutes. You could solve the problem with basic reasoning as well. 16 is twice the number of apples as 8, so the time it takes to eat them will be double 15 minutes.
Answer:
here's your answer in the given picture
With cross multiplication you can find that they are the same. In both equations, x would be 100.
Hello there!
Let's use foil.
First: 4x * 2x = 8x^2
Outside: 4x * -9 = -36x
Inside: -7 * 2x = -14x
Last: -7 * -9 = 63
Now, let's combine these.
8x^2 - 36x - 14x + 63
Finally, we can simplify this
8x - 50x + 63
I hope I helped!
Let me know if you need anything else!
