If the cost of a 2.5 meter cloth is $30.5. What will be the cost of 22 meters ?

268.40

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write a ratio to solve

2.5 meters        22 meters

 =

30.5 dollars       x dollars

Using cross products

2.5 * x = 30.5 * 22

2.5x =671

Divide each side by 2.5

2.5x / 2.5 = 671/2.5

x =268.4

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
