Okay, so I don't know if you guys have a special way (i.e. cross multiplication or something) but I would do this.
If 2 groomers can brush 8 horses in 3 hours, how many can one groomer brush in 3 hours? Just cut your horses in half and you get 4. In 3hours, one groomer can brush 4 horses. But how many can 3 groomers do in 3 hours? To get that, just multiply 3 (your number of groomers) by 4 (how many horses one groomer can do), and you get 12 (the number of horses your groomer can groom in 3 hours. So there you go, the answer is 3. It'll take three groomers 3 hours to brush 12 horses.

A square has an area of 9yd^2. What is the length of each side?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer: The side length is 3 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a square, you have to square one of it's side lengths since they all share the same length.  Since we know the area, and we need to find the side length so we just need to find the square root of the area.

\sqrt{9} = 3    

The side length is 3 yards.

Use the side-splitter theorem to solve for x in the triangle below.<br> 21<br> 42
alexandr1967 [171]

x = 8

Solution:

Side-splitter theorem:

<em>If a line is parallel to one side of a triangle and the line intersects the other two sides, then this line divides those two sides proportionally.</em>

$\Rightarrow\frac{4}{21} =\frac{x}{42}

Do cross multiplication, we get

⇒ 4 × 42 = 21x

Divide by 21 on both sides, we get

⇒ 4 × 2 = x

⇒ 8 = x

Switch the sides.

⇒ x = 8

The value of x is 8.
