A shop sells 3 types of boots football boots rugby boots and hiking boots sales are usually sold in the ratio 6:2:3 last moth 24 football boots were sold how many boots in total was sold last week

44

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the ratios is 6 + 2 + 3 = 11

Let b = total number of boots sold last week

If 24 football boots are sold, the equation representing this =

6/11 x b = 24

To solve for b, divide both sides by 11/6

b = 44 =  total number of boots sold last week

c

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
