12 dollars for 3 paper back books and 28 dollars for 7 paper back books are they equivalent please explain

1 answer:

3 0

If you have 12 dollars and you buy 3 paper back books, they each cost the same amount. So you would divide 12 dollars among 3 books to get the same answer for all of them. 12 divided by 3 equals the answer.

Then if you have 28 dollars and you buy 7 paper back books, they all cost the same amount. So that would be 28 divided by 7, equals the same answer.

A) 1/3=33 1/3%
B) 2/3=66 2/3%
C) 1/6=16 2/3%

A) YOU CAN TURN THE FRACTION 1/3 INTO A DECIMAL WHICH WILL BE AROUND 0.333. THEN YOU TURN THE DECIMAL INTO A PERCENT. YOU CAN MOVE THE DECIMAL TWO PLACES TO THE RIGHT. THAT GIVES YOU 33.3% OR 33 1/3% THIS ALSO APPLIES TO B BUT WITH 0.666 AND 66.6%

FOR C, YOU DO THE SAME. 1/6 AS A DECIMAL IS 1.666. YOU MOVE THE DECIMAL TWO PLACES TO THE RIGHT. 16.6% OR 16 2/3%

HOPE THIS HELPED.

If the perimeter of square region S and the perimeter of rectangular region R are equal and the sides of R are in the ratio 2:3

horrorfan [7]

Answer: The correct option is (B) 24 : 25.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the perimeter of square region S and the perimeter of rectangular region R are equal and the sides of R are in the ratio 2 : 3.

We are to find the ratio of the area of R to the area of S.

Let 2x, 3x be the sides of rectangle R and y be the side of square S.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$\textup{Perimeter of rectangle R}=\textup{Perimeter of square S}\\\\\Rightarrow2(2x+3x)=2(y+y)\\\\\Rightarrow 5x=2y\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{x}{y}=\dfrac{2}{5}~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

Therefore, the ratio of the area of R to the area of S is

$\dfrac{2x\times3x}{y\times y}\\\\\\=\dfrac{5x^2}{y^2}\\\\\\=6\left(\dfrac{x}{y}\right)^2\\\\\\=6\times\left(\dfrac{2}{5}\right)^2~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{Using equation (i)}]\\\\\\=\dfrac{24}{25}\\\\=24:25.$
