The answer is: 45 sandals.
_________________
Explanation: 
_________________
The ratio of:
__________________
shoes : sandals = 8:5
_____________________
We want to know how many SHOES were sold; if 72 sandals were sold.
__________________________
→ 8:5 = x:72 ; in which "x" = number of shoes were sold;
____________________
We can write this as:
___________________
→ 8 / 5 = x / 72; 
___________________
→ Cancel the "8" to a "1"; and change the "72" to a "9"; since "8 * 9 = 72" ;
______________________
→ and rewrite as:  1 / 5 = x / 9 ; 
____________________________
→ SInce "1/5" = 0.2 ; write as: 0.2 = x / 9 ↔  (0.2) x = 9 ;
__________________________
→ Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "(0.2)" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x' ; 
___________________________________
→ (0.2) x / (0.2) = 9 / (0.2) ; → to get: 45.
_____________
The answer is: 45 sandals.

(Note: Ratio of 45 shoes to 72 sandals)

Answer:

1) 2002

2) 92

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

First, you need to find the area of the triangular base. The height of the triangle is 7, and the base is 26, meaning that the area is 7*26/2=91. Multiplying this by the length of the prism, you get 2002 cubic meters.

2)

First, you need to find the area of the trapezoidal base. The two bases of the trapezoid have lengths 12 and 11, while the height is 8, meaning that the area is 8*(12+11)/2=92 cubic centimeters.

Hope this helps!

an air conditioner can cool a room that has a volume of up to 3,600 cubic feet. a room shaped like a rectangular prism is 15 fee
valentinak56 [21]

The length of the air conditioner is 24 feet.

Volume = 3600 feet ³

Width = 15 feet

Height = 10 feet

Length = Unknown

Therefore, the value of the length will be calculated thus:

Volume = Length × Width × Height

3600 = Length × 15 × 10

Length = 3600 / (15 × 10)

Length = 3600 / 150

Length = 24

The length is 24 feet
