Answer:
a. 1 1/8 b. 8/9
Step-by-step explanation:
You can set this up as a proportion to solve. For part a. we know that 2/3 of the road is 3/4 mile long. 2/3 + 1/3 = the whole road, so we need how many miles of the road is 1/3 its length. Set up the proportion like this:

Cross multiplying gives you:

The 3's on the right cancel out nicely, leaving you with

To solve for x, multiply both sides by 3/2:
gives you

That means that the road is still missing 3/8 of a mile til it's finished. The length of the road is found by adding the 3/4 to the 3/8:

So the road is a total of 1 1/8 miles long.
For b. we need to find out how much of 1 1/8 is 1 mile:
1 mile = x * 9/8 and
x = 8/9. When 1 mile of the road is completed, that is 8/9 of the total length of the road completed.
Without knowing the shape selection you have i cant really say anything. But with a square you wouldnt have any whole numbers, nor would a triangle give you whole number, than again no shape that i can think of would give whole numbers.
Answer:
h=9
Step-by-step explanation:
18h+30=192
18h=162
h=9
Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
because when you do 55% out of 160 it will give you 88 which you subtract from 160 and then you will end up with 72
