Let say the mainsail length and width is L1 and W1, staysail length and width is L2 and W2. 
<span>The base and height of the triangular mainsail of a sailboat are 1.5 times greater than the base and height of the boat's triangular staysail. That mean:
L1 = 1.5L2
W1 =1.5 W2

</span>How many times greater is the area of the mainsail than the area of the staysail?area1/area2 =
L1*W1 / L2*W2 =
1.5L2 * 1.5W2/ L2*W2 = 1.5 * 1.5= 2.25 times

What property is this?6x+9/3=2x+3
yan [13]

C. Distributive Property

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

From the complete question, the correct option is C. Distributive Property. We have the following equation:

\frac{6x+9}{3}=2x+3

But we can write this as follows:

\frac{1}{3}(6x+9)=2x+3

So 1/3 multiplies both 6x and 9, that stands for Distributive Property, therefore:

\frac{1}{3}(6x)+\frac{1}{3}(9)=2x+3 \\ \\ 2x+3=2x+3

You roll two dice. Let event A be "The first die shows a 2,a 3, or a 5" and event B be "The second die shows an odd number." Wha
DaniilM [7]
P(A) = 3/6 (3 out of all possible outcomes) = 1/3
P(B) = 3/6 = 1/3 again since possible odd numbers are 3 (1,3,5)
P(A/B) is basically 1/3 / 1/3
which is (3/3 = ) 1

Haven't worked with possibilities in ages so I'm not sure for the P(A/B) part! Sorry!

(−3.5x+7)−(5.3x−4) plz help
mojhsa [17]
First you need to distribute the negative to 5,3x and -4 now you have this:
-3.5x+7-5.3x +4     rearrange and combine like terms (matching x's with x's etc.)
-3,5x -5.3x +7+4 
-8.8x +11              your final answer there are no more like terms that you can                                        combine.
