Set up the proportion with the numbers on top equalling the cars and the numbers on the bottom representing the trucks.
\frac{8}{36} = \frac{c}{9}
c equals the number of unknown cars.
To solve the proportion, cross multiply (multiply 8 by 9 and 36 by c) and solve for c.
72 = 36c
Divide 36 from both sides to get the answer.
c = 2
If there are 9 trucks, there are 2 cars.
You can check this by dividing 2 by 9, and dividing 8 by 36. Since they both equal the same number, this answer is correct.

Hope this helps =)

Answer: 2 Cars

Step-by-step explanation: 36 divided by 4 is 9 so you have to do 8 divided by 4 which is 2.    2 to 9 would be the ratio of cars to trucks.

A 15-foot log is split into 2 pieces. How long are the pieces if the longest piece is 1.5ft shorter than two of the shorter piec
Allisa [31]

Answer:

8.25 ft & 6.75 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

So we know it's split into two pieces, right? So normally that would be 7.5 ft each. But one is 1.5 ft longer than the other. So as a result, I divided that by 2 to add 0.75 ft to piece one and subtract 0.75 ft from piece two's length. So, the longer piece is 8.25 ft, and the shorter one is 6.75 ft.

Justine bought a pair of boots for $76.68 and paid 13% sales tax. What was the price of these boots including tax?
MArishka [77]

Answer: $86.65

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find how much Justine paid in tax. To do this, first convert 13% to a decimal by dividing by 100. This gets a tax rate of 0.13. Now, multiply the price of the boots by the tax rate. 76.68*0.13 = 9.9684. Round to the nearest cent to get $9.97.

Now, add the amount paid in tax to the price of the boots. 76.68+9.97 = $86.65.
