The length/width ratio is 3/1
.
<em>l</em> = 6.6 × 10⁻⁶ m; <em>w</em> = 2.2 × 10⁻⁶ m
<em>l</em>/<em>w</em> = 6.6 × 10⁻⁶ m/2.2 × 10⁻⁶ m = 3/1
Answer:
x = 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Write equation
5x - 2(x + 1) = 1/4
Step 2: Solve for <em>x</em>
- <u>Distribute -2:</u> 5x - 2x - 2 = 1/4
- <u>Combine like terms:</u> 3x - 2 = 1/4
- <u>Add 2 to both sides:</u> 3x = 9/4
- <u>Divide both sides by 3:</u> x = 3/4
Step 3: Check
<em>Plug in x to verify it's a solution.</em>
5(3/4) - 2(3/4 + 1) = 1/4
15/4 - 2(7/4) = 1/4
15/4 - 14/4 = 1/4
1/4 = 1/4
Answer:
x = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
The scale factor is
28/8 = 7/2
We take the ratio of the larger side over the smaller side
Using ratios we can find the sides
28 21
----- = ---------
8 x
Using cross products
28x = 21*8
28x =168
Divide each side by 28
28x/28 = 168/28
x =6
1 pound = 16 oz
Her books weigh 9 pounds or (9)(16)= 144 oz
Math Textbook= 40 oz
Biology textbook= 3 pounds or (3)(16)= 48 oz
Total weight of books - math textbook - biology textbook = science textbook
144-40-48 = 56oz
science textbook = 56oz
