the ratio of sallys height is 7:8. if the sum of their heights is 90 inches. how tall are sally and jack?
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

Sally is 42 in. tall, and Jack is 48 in. tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are some words missing in the problem.

Perhaps the problem was meant to read:

"The ratio of Sally's height to Jack's height is 7:8. If the sum of their heights is 90 inches, how tall are Sally and Jack?"

Solution:

The ratio of the heights is 7:8.

Sally could measure 7 inches and Jack 8 inches, but then when you add the heights, 7 in. + 8 in. = 15 in. which is not 90 inches.

If you multiply both numbers in a ratio by the same number, the new numbers are still in the same ratio.

Multiply 7 and 8 by 2. You get 14 and 16. Maybe Sally is 14 in. tall and Jack is 16 in. tall. Add the heights, 14 in. + 16 in. = 30 in. This is also not 90 in.

We can keep on guessing what number to multiply by 7 and 8 by so their sum is 90, but we can use algebra to write an equation and not have to go through many guesses.

There is a number, x, that when you multiply 7 and 8 by x, the sum of the products is 90. We don't know what x is, but we can write an equation and solve for x.

The numbers in the ratio are 7x and 8x.

7x and 8x are still in the ratio 7:8.

Now we add the numbers 7x and 8x and set the sum equal to 90. Then we solve for x.

7x + 8x = 90

15x = 90

x = 6

We get x = 6. Now we know we need to multiply both 7 and 8 by 6 to get the heights we need.

7 in. * 6 = 42 in.

8 in. * 6 = 48 in.

Check: 42 in. + 48 in. = 90 in.

Answer: Sally is 42 in. tall, and Jack is 48 in. tall.

frozen [14]

Square Root of 8 to the nearest tenth, means to calculate the square root of 8 where the answer should only have one number after the decimal point.

Here are step-by-step instructions for how to get the square root of 8 to the nearest tenth:

Step 1: Calculate

We calculate the square root of 8 to be:

√8 = 2.82842712474619

Step 2: Reduce

Reduce the tail of the answer above to two numbers after the decimal point:

2.82

Step 3: Round

Round 2.82 so you only have one digit after the decimal point to get the answer:

2.8

To check that the answer is correct, use your calculator to confirm that 2.82 is about 8.

27/18= 1.5

18/6 = 3

3•1.5= 4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

$27 divided by 18 muffins equals $1.50, 18 muffins divided by 6 people equals 3, 3 muffins times $1.50 equals $4.50. So $4.50 is how much each person would have to pay.
