Answer:
The model car is 10 inches long
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this question, we use conversion of units
Feet to inches.
Each feet has 12 inches.
The car is 15ft long.
So the car has 15*12 = 180 inches.
.5 inches = 9 in.
Rule of three
.5 inches - 9 inches
x inches - 180 inches
The model car is 10 inches long
D = 14
1/6d + 2/3 = 1/4d - 1/2
2d + 4*2 = 3d - 6
2d - 3d = -6-8
-d = -14
d = 14
A=number of seats in section A
B=number of seats in section B
C=number of seats in section C
We can suggest this system of equations:
A+B+C=55,000
A=B+C ⇒A-B-C=0
28A+16B+12C=1,158,000
We solve this system of equations by Gauss Method.
1 1 1 55,000
1 -1 -1 0
28 16 12 1,158,000
1 1 1 55,000
0 -2 -2 -55,000 (R₂-R₁)
0 12 16 382,000 (28R₁-R₂)
1 1 1 55,000
0 -2 -2 -55,000
0 0 4 52,000 (6R₂+R₃)
Therefore:
4C=52,000
C=52,000/4
C=13,000
-2B-2(13,000)=-55,000
-2B-26,000=-55,000
-2B=-55,000+26,000
-2B=-29,000
B=-29,000 / -2
B=14,500.
A + 14,500+13,000=55,000
A+27,500=55,000
A=55,000-27,500
A=27,500.
Answer: there are 27,500 seats in section A, 14,500 seats in section B and 13,000 seats in section C.
You divide 48 by 2.4x to get 20 so x=20
