Answer:

x = 12.8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of x, set up a proportion between the two similar triangles. Then solve for x.

$\frac{32}{32+x} = \frac{40}{56}$

Solve by cross multiplying and isolating x.

32(56) = 40(32+x)

1792 = 1280 + 40x

512 = 40x

12.8 = x

1/2 of lla's workspace is covered in paper.1/3 of the paper is covered in yellow sticky notes.What fraction of lla's workspace i

Blababa [14]

Answer:

$\frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that 1/2 of Ila's work-space is covered in paper.1/3 of the paper is covered in yellow sticky notes.

First of all, we will draw a model to represent our given information as shown in the attached image.

To find the fraction of Ila's work-space that is covered in yellow sticky notes, we need to find 1/3 of 1/2 as:

$\text{Ila's work-space that is covered in yellow sticky notes}=\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{3}$

$\text{Ila's work-space that is covered in yellow sticky notes}=\frac{1}{2\times 3}$

$\text{Ila's work-space that is covered in yellow sticky notes}=\frac{1}{6}$

Therefore, $\frac{1}{6}$ of Ila's work-space is covered in yellow sticky notes.
