There is 12 inches in a foot. Times inches by feet. You can pick a number for the feet and do trial and error until you get a number the closet to 55.

12 inches times 4 feet equals 48 inches.
12x4= 48
Now subtract 55 inches from 48 inches
55-48= 7 inches

So 4 feet and 7 inches tall

The amount ofmoney is in the ratio 8:3 if the first amount is 9.92 what is the second amount?

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

The second amount is 3.72

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$First : Second = 8 : 3$

$First = 9.92$

Required

Find Second

$First : Second = 8 : 3$

Substitute 9.92 for First

$9.92: Second = 8 : 3$

Express as fraction

$\frac{Second}{9.92} = \frac{3}{8}$

Multiply both sides by 9.92

$9.92 * \frac{Second}{9.92} = \frac{3}{8}*9.92$

$Second = \frac{3}{8}*9.92$

$Second = 3.72$

3x - 4y = -15 ; 4x +3y =5

Kipish [7]

Using elimination method to find y
3x - 4y = -15 (multiply 4)
4x + 3y = 5 (multiply 3)
------------------------------------
12x - 16y = -60
12x + 9y = 15
--------------------- - (substract)
-25y = -75
y = 3

Using subtitution method to find x
3x - 4y = -15
3x - 4(3) = -15
3x - 12 = -15
3x = -3
x = -1

The solution (-1,3)
