For every 3 laps that jackie swims, ronnie swims 4 laps. during practice, they swam a combined total of 63 laps. how many laps did ronnie swim during practice?

36 laps Ronnie swim during practice .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the laps that Ronnie swims be x .

Let us assume that the laps that Jackie swims be y .

As given

For every 3 laps that Jackie swims, Ronnie swims 4 laps.

i.e

3 × laps that Ronnie swims = 4 × laps that Jackie swims

3 × x = 4 × y

3x = 4y

Equation becomes

x + y  = 63

Thus by using 3x = 4y .

Thus

4x + 3x = 63 × 4

7x = 252

x = 36

Put the value of x in the equation x + y  = 63

36 + y = 63

y = 63 - 36

y = 27

Therefore the 36 laps Ronnie swim during practice .

in mathematics, a constraint is a condition of an optimization problem that the solution must satisfy. there are several types of constraints—primarily equality constraints, inequality constraints, and integer constraints. the set of candidate solutions that satisfy all constraints is called the feasible set.

hoped i'm right lol
