8. An amusement park manager was taking records of visitors for three months in the summer. In June the number of visitors was one-half of the number of visitors in July. The number of visitors in August was three-fifths of the number of visitors in July. Use algebra to describe the number of visitors for each month.
9. The sum of the electric current in three transistors is 0.125 ampere. A technician found that the electric current in the first transistor is one-fourth the amount of the current in the second transistor. He also found the amount of current in the third transistor to be three times the amount in the second transistor. A technician found that the electric current in the first transistor. Use algebra to describe the total amount of electric current in the three transistors. [You are not required to solve the problem]
