the question in English
Draw a rectangle having the base congruent to the nine sevenths of the height.
Let
b-------> the base of rectangle
h-------> the height of rectangle
we know that
b=(9/7)*h-------> this is the equation to obtain the base of the rectangle for a given height
examples
1) for h=7 units
b=(9/7)*7-------->b=9 units
the dimensions are 9 units x 7 units------> see the attached figure
2) for h=5 units
b=(9/7)*5-------->b=(45/7) units
the dimensions are (45/7) units x 5 units
The answer in Italian
Facciamo
b-------> base del rettangolo
h-------> altezza del rettangolo
Noi sappiamo che
b=(9/7)*h-------> questa è l'equazione per ottenere la base del rettangolo per una determinata altezza
esempi
1) per h=7 units
b=(9/7)*7-------->b=9 units
le dimensioni sono 9 units x 7 units----->
vedere la figura allegata
2) per h=5 units
b=(9/7)*5-------->b=(45/7) units
le dimensioni sono (45/7) units x 5 units
Answer: the dwarf tree grew by 3 inches.
the semi dwarf tree grew by 6 inches.
the full size tree grew by 18 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent how much the semi-dwarf lemon tree grew.
Last month, a dwarf lemon tree grew half as much as a semi-dwarf lemon tree. This means that the amount by which the dwarf lemon tree grew is expressed as x/2
A full-size lemon tree grew three times as much as the semi-dwarf lemon. This means that the amount by which the full-size lemon tree grew is expressed as 3x
Together, the three trees grew 27 inches. This means that
x/2 + x + 3x = 27
Cross multiplying by 2, it becomes
x + 2x + 6x = 54
9x = 54
x = 54/9
x = 6 inches
The dwarf tree grew by 6/2 = 3 inches.
The full-size lemon tree grew by 3 × 6 = 18 inches
Answer:
The answer is A
Step-by-step explanation:
When you multiple the numerators across you get 39,283.2 not 39, 832. What this math problem is, is Dimensional Analysis. Its converting one unit of measurement to another

Answer:
ounces of marigold seeds.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Jane uses 2/5 of an ounce of lupine seeds for every ounce of Marigold seeds. We are asked to find the ounces of Marigold seeds, which Jane will use, if she used one ounce of lupine seeds.
We will use proportions to solve our given problem.

Let us simplify our proportion as shown below:


Since Jane used 1 pounce of lupine seeds, so we will substitute this value in our proportion as:


Therefore, Jane will use
ounces of marigold seeds, if she used one ounce of lupine seeds.
