55% of what is 3.3
0.55x = 3.3
x = 3.3 / 0.55
x = 6 total miles

6 - 3.3 = 2.7......so they have another 2.7 miles to go

Three red rods are 2cm longer than two blue rods. Three blue rods are 2cm longer than four red rods. How long is each rod?

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

The length of each red rod is 10 cm and the length of each blue rod is 14 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the length of each red rod in centimeters

y ----> the length of each blue rod in centimeters

we know that

$3x=2y+2$ ----> equation A

$3y=4x+2$ ----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution of the system of equations is the intersection point both graphs

using a graphing tool

The solution is the point (10,14)

see the attached figure

therefore

The length of each red rod is 10 cm and the length of each blue rod is 14 cm

Find the surface area of the rectangle prism. 3cm 9cm and 6cm

lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

198 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the dimensions of a rectangular prism;

3cm 9cm and 6cm

We are required to determine its surface area;

We need to know that;

Surface area of a rectangular prism is given by;

A = 2(WL+HL+WH)

Where L, W and H are length , width and height respectively;

Assuming;

Width is 3 cm

Length is 9 cm, and

Height is 6 cm

Then;

Area = 2 ( (3×9) + (6×9) + (3×6))

= 2(99)

= 198 cm²

Therefore, the area of the rectangular prism is 198 cm²

a 55 ft long drainage pipe must be cut into two pieces before installation. one piece is two-thirds as long as the other. find t

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

33 feet

22 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the longer piece be x

Therefore the shorter piece is (2/3)x

x + (2/3)x = 55 Combine the left 2 terms.

(3/3)x + (2/3)x = 55 Add

(5/3)x = 55 Multiply both sides by (3/5)

(3/5) * (5/3)x = (3/5)*55

x = 33

The larger piece is 33 feet

The smaller piece is (2/3) * 33 = 22 feet
