Answer:

  28

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the smaller of the two factors of 896 that have the ratio 8:7.

<h3>Setup</h3>

Let x represent the smaller of the two factors (the one we want to find). Then the larger factor is (8/7)x, and their product is ...

  x(8/7)x = 896

  (8/7)x² = 896

<h3>Solution</h3>

Multiplying by the inverse of the coefficient of x², we have ...

  x² = (7/8)(896) = 784

  x = √784 = 28 . . . . . . . . take square root

The smaller of the two numbers is 28.

__

<em>Additional comment</em>

The larger is (8/7)(28) = 32.

Liana's class was going on a very exciting school trip, but when Liana got to school, the school bus had already left! Frantic,
Llana [10]

Answer:

  • <u>They can catch up with the bus at 10:40 am.</u>

Explanation:

1. Set the time when Liana and her mother can leave (8:40 am) as t₀ = 0; thus the time of driving for them will be t.

2. The average speed at whic Liana's mother drive: 60 miles/hour

3. Thus, the distance they will have driven will be:

  • distance = average speed × time = 60t

4. The time the bus left was 8:00 am, which is 40 minutes before Liana and her mom can leave.

Thus, the time wil have driven when Liana and her mom have driven t hours  minutes will be: t + 40 min / 60 min/ hour = t + 2/3

5. The average speed of teh bus is 45 miles / hour

6. The distance the bus will have driven will be:

  • distance = average speed × time = 45(t + 2/3)

7. When Liana and her mother catch up with the bus, the distances driven by both of them are equal:

  • 60t = 45(t + 2/3)
  • 60t = 45t + 30
  • 60t - 45t = 30
  • 15t = 30
  • t = 30/15 = 2

Thus, Liana and her mom can catch up with the bus after 2 hours, since 8:40 am; this is, 10:40 am.

The two rectangles are similar. which is the correct proportion for corresponding sides?
nlexa [21]

Option D is correct, the proportion for corresponding sides is 12/4 = 24/8.

According to the statement

we have given that the two rectangle which are similar to each other and we have to find the correct proportion for corresponding sides of rectangles.

So, we know that the

For the two rectangles to be similar, it means the ratio of their corresponding sides must be the same.

Looking at the two rectangles, the corresponding sides are pf the rectangles are:

4 m side corresponds to 8 m side in rectangle A

12m side corresponds to the 24 m side in rectangle B.

Then

The ratios of the both rectangles are:

In rectangle A is 8/4 = 2

In rectangle B is 24/12 = 2

From this it is clear that the ratios are equal.

Thus, the scale factor is 2

Since 8/4 = 24/12, we can rearrange to get;

12/4 = 24/8.

So, Option D is correct, the proportion for corresponding sides is 12/4 = 24/8.
