Answer: 43.2 inches


Explanation:

Find the ratio of the lengths. Then apply it on the width to find the missing width.


Length 1 : Length 2

=   25 : 60

=    5   :  12


Width 1 : Width 2

=     18   : x


x = 18 ÷ 5 x 12 = 43.2 inches

Justin and his children went into a grocery store and he bought $18 worth of bananas and mangos. Each banana costs $0.60 and eac
Igoryamba

Answer:

x=10 and y= 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the cost of 1 banana = $0.60

Cost of 1 mango = $1.50.

Total cost= $ 18  

Here, x be the number of bananas and y be the numbers of mangos,

As the number of bananas is 2 more than the number of mangos,

So, x=y+2

\Rightarrow y=x-2 \cdots(i)

Cost of x bananas =\$ 0.60 \times x

Cost of y mangos =\$ 1.50 \times y

Total cost = 0.6x+1.5y

\Rightarrow 18 = 0.6x+1.5y\\\\\Rightarrow 1.5y=18-0.6x\\\\\Rightarrow y= 12 - 0.4 x \cdots(ii).

Solving both the equations (i) as well as (ii), graphically as shown in the figure by plotting both the graphs.

Both the graphs intersect at the point (10,8) as shown in the graph.

So, the solution of both the equations is, (x,y)=(10,8). i.e

The number of bananas = x= 10 and

the number of mangos = y = 8.

Answer:

The answer is the option C

4\ ft

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The perimeter of a rectangle is equal to

P=2b+2h

where

b is the base side of the rectangle

h is the height of the rectangle

In this problem we have that

b=8\ ft, h=4\ ft,P=24\ ft

The length of side x is equal to the height  of rectangle

so

x=h=4\ ft
