x - y = 14
given the ratio x : y = 5 : 3
then let x = 5x and y = 3x, hence equation can be expressed as
5x + 3x = 56
8x = 56 ( divide both sides by 8 )
x = 7
Hence x = 5 × 7 = 35 and y = 3 × 7 = 21
Thus x - y = 35 - 21 = 14
Answer:
i think it's c.
Step-by-step explanation:
sorry if this is wrong
Yes, all of the rhombuses have 2 pairs of parallel side.
First convert the numbers to get the same denominator
1/3=4/12
5/6=10/12
5/12
Then add them all together
4/12+10/12+5/12= 19/12
Then reduce
1 7/12
Your answer is 1 ton and 7/12 of a ton
