You could just multiply the whole number with the numerator and then divide the answer by the denominator. Or you could write the whole number over 1, and then simplify the numbers before multiplying straight across.

2/3 x 36
2/3 x 36/1
2/1 x 12/1 (simplified the 3 and the 36)
24/1=24 (just multiplied across)

sleet_krkn [62]

The answer is 16in.

Let the radius and height of cylinder A be Ra and Hb respectively and the radius and height of cylinder B be Rb and Hb respectively.

Using similar shapes:
Ra/Ha= Rb/Hb
5.6/Ha=1.4/4
Ha=(4×5.6)/1.4
Ha=22.4/1.4
Ha=16in

Answer:

1) Change the length of side AB to 2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that both structures are similar, it follows that the ratio of their corresponding lengths are equal.

To find out what should be the correct length of AB that she should change to, set up the proportion showing the ratio of 2 corresponding lengths of both structures. Thus:

$\frac{PR}{AC} = \frac{PQ}{AB}$
