Answer:

I think the assumption is that 6 men would take longer to build the same bridge

so 16 days is how long it would take 6 men

Step-by-step explanation:

I thought this because if it takes 8 men twelve days it's gonna probably take six men 16 days

12/8 = x/6

Which choice is equivalent to the quotient below shown here when x>0?

qwelly [4]

Answer:

Choice B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The given radical division can be expressed in the following form;

$\frac{\sqrt{16x^{3} } }{\sqrt{8x} }$

Using the properties of radical division, the expression can be expressed in the following form;

$\sqrt{\frac{16x^{3} }{8x} }=\sqrt{2x^{2} }$

Simplifying further yields;

$\sqrt{2x^{2} }=\sqrt{2}*\sqrt{x^{2} }=x\sqrt{2}$

Choice B is thus the correct alternative

A 24 inch board is cut into 3 pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first and the third is 3 times as long as

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: first piece = 4 in, second piece = 8 in, third piece = 12 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

total length = 24 inches

first piece = x in

second piece = 2x

third piece = 3x

Equation

x + 2x + 3x = 24

6x = 24

x = 24/6

x = 4 length of the first piece

second piece = 2(4) = 8 inches

third piece = 3(4) = 12 inches
