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.

Find the GCF 0f 12 and 18
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

  6

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Euclid's algorithm, we divide the larger by the smaller. If the remainder is zero, the divisor is the GCF. Otherwise, we replace the larger with the remainder and repeat.

  18 ÷ 12 = 1 r 6

  12 ÷ 6 = 2 r 0 . . . . the GCF is 6

__

You can also factor the numbers and see what the common factors are.

  18 = 2·3·3

  12 = 2·2·3

The common factors are 2·3 = 6.

In the factorizations, we see 2 to powers of 1 and 2, and we see 3 to powers of 1 and 2. The GCF is the product of the common factors to their lowest powers: (2^1)(3^1) = (2)(3) = 6

seropon [69]

Answer:

Percent increase is 17.6%

We still have to pay 7.50 with the coupon

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent increase = (new- original)/original *100%

                             = (10-8.5)/8.5 * 100%

                             = 1.5/8.5 * 100%

                             = 17.6470588%

Round to the nearest tenth

                                 17.6%

This is an increase since the cost went up.

If we have 25% off, we still have to pay (100%-25%) = 75%

10 *.75 = 7.50

We still have to pay 7.50 with the coupon

X^2 - y^2 = 100
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by rewriting the second equation in terms of "x":

x+y=5

Subtract y from both sides:

x=5-y

Now, substitute "5-y" for "x" in the first equation:

(5-y)^2-y^2=100

Note that:

(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2

25-10y+y^2-y^2=100

Cancel out like terms:

25-10y=100

Subtract 25 from both sides:

-10y=75

Divide both sides by -10

y=\frac{75}{-10}=\frac{15}{-2}=-\frac{15}{2}

Now, substitute this value back into either of the equations to solve for x.

x+y=5\\x-\frac{15}{2}=5\\

Add 15/2 to both sides:

x=5+\frac{15}{2}\\x=\frac{10}{2}+\frac{15}{2}\\x=\frac{25}{2}

Now, find the difference:

x-y=\frac{25}{2}-(-\frac{15}{2})=\frac{25}{2}+\frac{15}{2}=\frac{40}{2}=20
