2 / 8 = x / 36

we multiply both sides of the equation with 36 in order to solve for x.

36 × (2 / 8) = 36 ( x / 36)

9 = x

the proportion is

2 / 8 = 9 / 36

AlekseyPX

Answer:

m = —1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two clear points shown on the graph

point 1: (0;3)

point 2: (6;1)

$m = \frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

$m = \frac{1 - 3}{6 - 0}$

$m = - \frac{2}{6}$

$m = - \frac{1}{3}$

The length of a rectangle is 5 inches less than 4 times the width. The perimeter is 110 inches. Find the length and the width.

nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

Length = 43 inches
Width = 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2 * ( L + W)

The length of a rectangle is 5 inches less than 4 times the width.

Assume the width is x. Length is:

4x - 5

Equation is therefore:

2 * (4x - 5 + x) = 110

4x - 5 + x = 110/2

5x - 5 = 55

5x = 55 + 5

x = 60/5

x = 12 inches

If width is 12 inches, then length is:

= 4x - 5

= 4 * 12 -5

= 43 inches

Trudy bought 1 foot of fabric. If she cuts the fabric into 3-inch pieces, how many pieces will she have?

WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

Trudy will have 4 pieces of the fabric.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, 1 foot of the fabric = 12 inches

If Trudy cuts the fabric into pieces of 3 inch.

Number of pieces she will have = $\frac{\text{Total length of the fabric}}{\text{Length of one piece}}$

= $\frac{12}{3}$

= 4 pieces

Therefore, she will have 4 pieces of the fabric.
