Expressed as a ratio, the board lengths are 1:3.

Then the sum of the "ratio units" is 1+3=4, so each "ratio unit" must represent (48 in)/4 = 12 in of board.

The piece that is 1 ratio unit long is 1*12 in = 12 in.
The piece that is 3 ratio units long is 3*12 in = 36 in.

The pieces are 12 in and 36 in long.

kykrilka [37]
100 = 2t + 4f 
40= t + f
-----------
get t or f by itself first.

f = 40 - t : Then substitute it back into for f in the other equation
100 = 2t + 4f 
100= 2t +4(40-t) 
100= 2t + 160 - 4t
100 = -2t + 160
-160           -160

<u>-60 </u>= <u>-2t
</u>-2        -2

t = 30 (Then plug this into either equation to solve for f)

Therefore,
t = 30 questions
f = 10 questions

What is the difference <br> A <br> B<br> C<br> D
aksik [14]

Answer:

D. \frac{x-1}{x^2+3x+2}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is;

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

This is the same as;

\frac{x}{(x+2)(x+1)}-\frac{1}{(x+2)(x+1)}

The denominators are the same.

Subtract the numerators and write one denominator;

\frac{x-1}{(x+2)(x+1)}}

Rewrite to get;

\frac{x-1}{x^2+3x+2}}
