document.write( "First, I just said well 10 and 10 is 20 so if she saw 6 rabbits in 10 days then she saw 12 rabbits in 20 days plus 3 for five days left makes 15 rabbits.\r

Algebra.Com's Answer #100751 by Fombitz(32388)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You're on the right track. \n" ); document.write( "You set up the ratio correctly. \n" ); document.write( "Thinks of it as 6 rabbits is to 10 days, like x rabbits is to 25 days. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "If we multiply both sides by 25 (the multiplicative inverse of 1/25), you get \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "15 rabbits \n" ); document.write( "You could have also cross multiplied, \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Same result. \n" ); document.write( " |
