Answer: 1/3 is less than 1 whole

Step-by-step explanation: 1/3 is a fraction of a whole number therefore it is less than 1 whole.

1/3 is 1/3 of 1 or 1/3 of a single whole.

Hope that helped! :)

1/3 is less than one whole because your cutting the whole into 3 pieces and only having one of those pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

2(3x) - 5x = 4

6x - 5x = 4

x = 4

B. -5(x-4)+8x=29

-5x+20+8x=29

3x+20=29

3x=9

x=3

C. 2y=18+2(3-y)

2y=18+6-2y

2y=24-2y

4y=24

y=6

D. c = -b - 11

3c + 6 = 6b

3( -b - 11) +6 = 6b

-3b-33+6=6b

-3b-27=6b

-27=9b

3=b

LMN is a right-angle triangle. Angle NLM=90. PQ is parallel to LM. The area of triangle PNQ is 8cm^2. The area of triangle LPQ i

likoan [24]

Answer:

The area of LQM is $48cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Area of PNQ = 8

Area of LPQ = 16

See attachment for triangles

The area of PNQ is calculated as:

$Area = \frac{1}{2} * PQ * PN$

Substitute 8 for Area

$8 = \frac{1}{2} * PQ * PN$

$PQ * PN = 16$

The area of LPQ is calculated as:

$Area = \frac{1}{2} * PQ * LP$

Substitute 16 for Area

$16= \frac{1}{2} * PQ * LP$

From the attachment:

$PN + LP =LN$

Make LP the subject

$LP = LN -PN$

So:

$16= \frac{1}{2} * PQ * (LN -PN)$

We have:

$16= \frac{1}{2} * PQ * (LN -PN)$ and $PQ * PN = 16$

Equate both expressions:

$\frac{1}{2} * PQ *(LN - PN) = PQ * PN$

Divide both sides by PQ

$\frac{1}{2} (LN - PN) = PN$

Multiply both sides by 2

$LN - PN = 2PN$

$LN= 3PN$

Since PNQ is similar to LNM, the following equivalent ratios exist:

$\frac{LM}{PQ} = \frac{LN}{PN}$

Substitute $LN= 3PN$

$\frac{LM}{PQ} = \frac{3PN}{PN}$

$\frac{LM}{PQ} = 3$

$LM = 3PQ$

Area of LQM is:

$Area = \frac{1}{2} * LM * LP$

This gives:

$Area = \frac{1}{2} * 3PQ * LP$

$Area = 3 *\frac{1}{2} *PQ * LP$

Recall that:

$16= \frac{1}{2} * PQ * LP$

So:

$Area = 3 *16$

$Area = 48cm^2$
