Note the improper fraction. Change it into a mixed fraction
3/2 = 2/2 + 1/2
2/2 = 1
5 + 1 1/2
Simplify.
5 + 1 = 6
6 1/2 is your answer
hope this helps
Let the two numbers be x and y
x + y = 5(x-y)
x + y = 5x -5y
6y = 4x
x= (6/4)y
x= (3/2)y
there the ratio is 3/2
Answer: The equation can be written as 8n = 99.2.
Step-by-step explanation:
In my answer, I used the variable n to distinguish itself as one side of the stop sign. 99.2 is the final perimeter in inches.
A stop sign is an octagonal shape (otherwise, it is made up of 8 equal sides). Therefore, with this information, you can interpret that the length of one side would be equal to the length of all of the other sides.
Hence, the answer can be represented as 8n = 99.2.
