City hall to post office = 6 1/2 miles = represented by f
city hall to library site = 1 1/4 miles = represented by d
library site to post office = unknown. = represented by e
City hall to library site PLUS library site to post office IS EQUAL to city hall to post office
d + e = f
1 1/4 + e = 6 1/2
find e.
e = 6 1/2 - 1 1/4
e = 13/2 - 5/4
e = (13*2)/(2*2) - 5/4
e= 26/4 - 5/4
e = (26-5)/4
e = 21/4
e = 5 1/4 distance from library site to post office.
To check:
d + e = f
1 1/4 + e = 6 1/2
1 1/4 + 5 1/4 = 6 1/2
6 2/4 = 6 1/2
6 1/2 = 6 1/2
This is a proportion problem. Let the monument me x feet tall.
40/x=5/6
Cross multiply:
240=5x
x=48 ft.
So the monument is 48 ft tall,
9514 1404 393
Answer:
x = 10 2/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratios of corresponding sides are the same, so we have ...
x/8 = 8/6
x = 8·(8/6) = 64/6
x = 10 2/3
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to add -5 to both sides:
The next step is to divide 3 on both sides:
