6.2/8ft= H/5.6ft

34.72/8=4.34

The child is 4.34 ft tall

4 × (3 + 7) = (4 ×[]) + (4 ×[])

Naily [24]

Answer:

4 × (3 + 7) = (4 ×7) + (4 × 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you go by the order of PEMDAS you would do the parentheses first. 3 + 7 =10. 10 × 4 = 40. Then you would just use the distributive property and do (4× 7) + (4 × 3)

4 × 7 = 28 and 4 × 3 = 12 28 +12 =40

ycow [4]

Answer: The number of girls in the auditorium is represented by the algebraic expression y=(4x +72) /5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze the information given:

<em>Number of boys added: 18 </em>
<em>Ratio of boys to girls: 5:4 </em>

So, the total number of boys is:

x + 18

Number of girls = y

Number of boys / number of girls = 5/4

(x+18) /y = 5/4

Solving for "y"

4 (x +18) =5 y

4x +72 = 5y

(4x +72) /5 = y

The number of girls in the auditorium is represented by the algebraic expression y=(4x +72) /5

Martin offers a better deal because you only have to pay 48 dollars unlike with Danny where you have to pay 105 dollars just for a 3 hr. lesson.
