A ratio is an ordered couple of numbers a and b, written as a/b where b can not equal 0. A proportion is an equation in which two ratios are set equal to each other.
Marco leaves the bathroom faucet running for 22 minutes while he gets ready in the morning.
Running the faucet for 5 minutes wastes the same amount of energy as leaving a 60-watt light bulb on for 14 hours.
Then we have
[tex]\begin{aligned} \dfrac{5\ minutes}{14 \ hours } &=\dfrac{1\ minute }{x \ hours}\\\\x &= 2.8 \ hours \end{aligned}[/tex]
So, the rate is 2.8 hours per minute.
Since macro leaves the bathroom faucet running for 22 minutes. Then the waste of energy is leaving a 60-watt light bulb will be
→22 minutes × 2.8 hours/minute = 61.6 hours.
