1 length is 4.75 feet
42 lengths = x feet Cross multiply
1 * x = 42 * 4.75 Multiply on the right
x = 199.5
amount left = amount started with - amount amount used
Amount left = ???
Amount started with = 240 feet.
Amount used = 199.5 Substitute
Amount left = 240 - 199.5 Subtract
Amount left = 40.5 Answer
You can solve this by putting the number of copies in the top part of the fraction. If you replace the one in the top part of 1/6 with 3, you get the fraction 3/6. Half of six is three and half of two is one, so both fractions are equal. You can test this be dividing the 3 in the top by 3 and the 6 in the bottom by three. Your result will be 1/2. Although there are three times ad many copies, each copy is three times as small, so it balances out.
Answer:
B. x = 7; AB = 9, AC = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
12/4 = (x + 2)/(x - 4) (similar triangles theorem)
3 = (x + 2)/(x - 4)
Cross multiply
3(x - 4) = (x + 2)
3x - 12 = x + 2
Collect like terms
3x - x = 12 + 2
2x = 14
x = 14/2
x = 7
✔️AB = x + 2 = 7 + 2
AB = 9
✔️AC = (x + 2) + (x - 4) = (7 + 2) + (7 - 4)
AC = 9 + 3
AC = 12
