8/5 = 20/x
8x = 20(5)
8x = 100
x = 12.5

answer
<span>length of its shorter side = 12.5 ft</span>

Length is 20

ratio is 8:5

20:?=8:5
20/?=8/5
times both sides by 5?
100=8?
divide both sides by 8
25/2=?
12.5=?

the shorter side is 12.5ft

a bagel cost $0.80.On Wednesday ,a dozen bagels cost $6.00. what is the unit price of a bagel on wednsday, if you buy 3 bagels?
maria [59]

If a bagel costs $0.80 any day, then the unit price
is $0.80 per bagel.

If the unit price of a bagel is $0.80 , then every bagel
you buy costs $0.80 .

Only one thing changes:  The price of a dozen on Wednesday.

If you buy 1 dozen ... or any number of dozens ... on Wednesday,
then the unit price of the contents of that bag is

                        ($6.00) / (1 dozen)  =  $6.00 per dozen

If you want to convert that to a
different unit of measure, then
you do it like this:

                 (6.00  $/dozen) x (1 dozen/12 bagels)

             =  (6.00 x 1 / 12)  ($/bagel)

             =        0.5  $/bagel

                 or   $0.50 / bagel .

When two computers are working together, they can finish updating software in 9 minutes. How long would they take individually t
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
First computer takes x min. For 1 min it does 1/x part of work.

Second computer takes (x+24) min. For one min it does 1/(x+24) part of work.

Both computers for one min do   (1/x+1/(x+24)) part of work.

At the same time, both computers for one min do 1/9 part of work.

\frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{x+24} = \frac{1}{9} &#10;\\ \\  \frac{x+24+x}{x(x+24)} =  \frac{1}{9} &#10;\\ \\9(2x+24)=x^{2} +24x&#10;\\ \\ 18x+216=x^{2} +24x&#10;\\ \\ x^{2}+6x-216=0&#10;\\ \\ D=b^{2}-4ac=36+4*216 = 900&#10;\\ \\ x= \frac{-b+/- \sqrt{D} }{2a}  =  \frac{-6+/-30}{2} &#10;\\ \\ x_{1}=-18, x_{2}=12&#10;&#10;We can use only positive number here. So, &#10;&#10;for the first computer x=12 min,&#10;&#10; for second computer x+24=12+24= 36 min&#10;&#10;Answer 12 min and 36 min.

Suppose f(x)=x^2. what is the graph of g(x)=1/3 f(x)
saw5 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^2

g(x)= 1/3 f(x) = 1/3 x^2

First lets make a table for f(x)= x^2

Lets pick some numbers for x  and find out y

x           y=x^2

-3           (-3)^2 = 9

-1              1

0             0

1              1

3             9

Now we use the same x  values and make a table for g(x)

x         g(x)= \frac{1}{3} x^2

-3          g(x)= \frac{1}{3}(-3)^2=3

-1          g(x)= \frac{1}{3}(-1)^2=\frac{1}{3}

0             0

1           g(x)= \frac{1}{3}(1)^2=\frac{1}{3}

3          g(x)= \frac{1}{3}(3)^2=3

Graph the above table
