Make each a ratio, and set them equal to each other.
Larger rectangle = 3/5
smaller rectangle = x/3
3/5 = x/3
cross multiply
3/5(5)(3) = x/3(3)(5)
3(3) = x(5)
9 = 5x
Isolate the x, divide 5 from both sides
9/5 = 5x/5
x = 9/5
x = 1.8
1.8 in. is your answer
hope this helps
Answer:
I'm not sure what all that extra stuff is supposed to mean, but the answer to the top question is: x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
You would solve this with simultaneous equations, so if we write it as:
5n + 2p = 9
3n + 2p = 6
(subtract)
2n = 3
÷ 2
notebooks = 1.5
Now you would substitute it in:
(3 × 1.5) + 2p = 6
4.5 + 2p = 6
- 4.5
2p = 1.5
÷ 2
pens = 0.75
So your final answer is notebooks are $1.50 and pens are $0.75, I hope this helps!
