THIS IS AN EXAMPLE:
Answer: Bradley scored 854 points and Harner scored 748 points.
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by representing the problem mathematically. "B" will represent Bradley's score, and "H" will represent Harner's score.
B+H=1602 represents that the sum of the scores is 1602.
B-H=106 represents that Bradley has 106 more points than Harner.
Now, combine the like terms in the two equations to get 2B=1708 . Now divide each side by two to find that Bradley scored 854 points.
Now, we can just subtract Bradley's score from the total score to get Harner's score. 1602-854=748, so Harner scored 748 points.
4/1 / 5/2 = 4/1 * 2/5 = 8/5
1 7/8 = 15/8
15/8 * 8/5 = 120/40 = 12/4 = 3 inches
shorter side should be 3 inches
