Answer: 1008 letters
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, last Monday, a local mail carriers delivered 1,344 pieces of mail and of all the deliveries they made, 1 / 6 were magazines, 1 / 12 were packages, and the rest were letters. The fraction of letters will be:
= 1 - (1/6 + 1/12)
= 1 - (3/12)
= 9/12 = 3/4
We will now multiply 3/4 by 1344 to get the number of letters delivered.
= 3/4 × 1344
= 1008 letters

Answer:
smaller triangle area = 73 1/3 ft^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The smaller triangle has a ratio of linear dimensions of 10/15 = 2/3 of that of the larger triangle. The area ratio is the square of this, so the area of the smaller triangle is ...
(165 ft^2)(2/3)^2 = (165 ft^2)(4/9) = 220/3 ft^2 = 73 1/3 ft^2
