<span>The correct answer is 12/17m+30/17 yellow ribbons.
Explanation:
Setting up a proportion to represent the ratio of red to yellow, we have
r/y = 17/6.
Cross multiply:
6r=17y.
To isolate y, cancel 17 by dividing:
6r/17 = y, or (6/17)r=y.
Substituting 2m+5 for r, we have
(6/17)(2m+5)=y.
Use the distributive property:
(6/17)*2m+(6/17)*5=y
(12/17)m+30/17=y.</span>
Answer:
a) Approximate height of the statue: 144 feet
b) The approximate height is 1.7% greater that the actual height of the statue.
Explanation
1) Assume that the measures of the statue are proportional to the dimensions of the student. That means:
statue's height student's height
________________________ = ______________________
length of the statue's right arm length of student's right arm
⇒ x / 54 feet = (5 + 1/3) feet / 2 feet
⇒ x = 54 × (16/3) / 2 feet = (54×16) / (3×2) feet = 144 feet
Answer: 144 feet
2) Compare the approximate heigth obtained with the actual height:
144 feet - (143 feet + 9 inches) = 144 feet - (143 feet + 9/12 feet) = 1 feet - 9/12 feet
1 feet - 9/12 feet = 1 feet - 3/4 feet = 1/4 feet.
Hence, the approximate feet obtained is 1/4 feet larger than the actual height.
In relative terms that is : (1/4) / (143 + 3/4) = 0.0017 = 1.7%.
x-3/(x+1)(5x-2)
This is the answer, first you divide fractions, then factor out the remaining, then factor again, cancel common factor, cancel common factor x-1.
