Atire shop had to fill 2 1 ⁄2 tires with air. it took a small air compressor 2 1 ⁄2 seconds to fill them up. how long would it take to fill 8 tires?

Let 2_1/2 = 5/2.

Let t = time to fill 8 tires

(5/2)/8 = (5/2)/t

8(5/2) = (5/2)t

20 = (5/2)t

20 ÷ 5/2 = t

20 • 2/5 = t

8 seconds = t

Done.

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6

b.my answer is b.
