You estimate that you can do 12 math problems in 45 min. How long should it take you to do 20 math problems?

Let x be the minute for 20 question.
Word ratio, Ratio tables, find x 

   Mins       Math problem                                      12(x) = 45(20)
   45              12                                                    12 x/12 = 900/12
    x               20                                                     X = 75 min.


It take 75 mins to do 20 math Problems.

Three poster cost $9.60. At the rate how many posters can you buy for $48?

Let x be the number of poster that cost $48
Word ratio, Ratio tables, find X

Poster       $                                9.60(x) = 3(48)
 3           9.60                             9.60 x/9.60= 144/9.60
 X           48                                 X = 15 posters 


You can buy 15 posters  for $48.

  1. Answer for your question:
    ~Issue that cost more is the 12 subscription issue because:
    12•x = 33.60•1
    12x = 33. 60
    12 12
    x=2.80
    While the other one is cheaper:
    18•x = 40.50•1
    18x = 40.50
    18 18
    x=2.25
