<u>Answer:</u>

12.5 feet

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know that the ratio of the length of a rectangle to its width it 8 to 5.

Given that the longer side of the rectangle is 20 feet, we are to find the length of its shorter side.

Assuming x to be the length of the shorter side, we can use the simple ratio method.

\frac{8}{5} =\frac{20}{x}

x=\frac{5}{8} *20

x=12.5

Therefore, the length of the shorter side is We know that the ratio of the longer side of a rectangle to its shorter side is 4 to 12.5 feet.

Answer: The answer is 12.5 ft.


Step-by-step explanation:  Given that there is a rectangle with ratio of its length to breadth 8 : 5. Also, the longer side of the rectangle is 20 feet. We are to find the length of the shorter side.

Let, '8x' and '5x' be the length and breadth of the rectangle respectively. Since length is the longer side, so we have

8x=20\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{20}{8}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=2.5.

Therefore, width, length of the shorter side will be

W=5x=5\times 2.5=12.5~\textup{ft.}

Thus, the length of the shorter side is 12.5 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

6•6 = 36       - all possibilities in a roll of two dices

3&4 or 4&3    - two possibilites

Probability that one of the dice will be a 3 and the other a 4:

\frac2{26}=\frac1{18}=0,05555....=0,0(5)

There are 44 total small egg cartons, 264 / 6 = 44

There are 176 total medium egg cartons, (264 / 3) x 2 = 176

There are 44 total big egg cartons, 176 + 44 = 220

264 - 220 = 44

<u>Note: (So you don't get confused) Above is just the number of egg cartons, below is the number of eggs.</u>

There is a total of 352 eggs in the small egg cartons, 44 x 8 = 352

There is a total of 2112 eggs in the medium egg cartons, 176 x 12 = 2112

There is a total of 792 eggs in the large egg cartons, 44 x 18 = 792

Hope this Helps! :)

Of the 48 oranges in a carton 1/3 of them were rotten Ben and David took the remaining good oranges it's been took eat my orange
Burka [1]

Answer:

David took 16 oranges.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Total number of oranges = 48

Oranges rotten =

\dfrac{1}{3}

Number of oranges rotten =

\dfrac{1}{3}\times 48\\\\=16

There were 16 rotten oranges.

Number of good oranges left =

= 48-16\\=32

These are equally divided among Ben and David.

Number of oranges each Ben and David get =

\dfrac{32}{2} = 16

Thus, David took 16 oranges.
