Hey there!

First, you want to add together the numbers in the extended ratio. 6 + 7 + 8 = 21. This helps because you're looking to find how much greater the triangle is than the ratio. 

So now, since you have the total "perimeter" of a triangle with sides of that ratio, just divide 63 by 21 to find how many times that ratio fits into this triangle.

63 / 21 = 3

So you now know that if you multiply all the parts of that ratio by 3, it'll get the side lengths of the triangle with a perimeter of 63 feet.

6 * 3 : 7 * 3 : 8 * 3
= 18:21:24

So the side lengths would be 18 feet, 21 feet, and 24 feet.

To check, I would add all the sides together to see if it equals 63 feet:

18 + 21 + 24 = 63

So your answer is 63.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the inequality.

x+1/4<5/8

Step 2: Subtract 1/4 from both sides.

x +  1/4 - 1/4 < 5/8 - 1/4

x<3/8
