77 unicorns, because yesterday the ratio was 6:5 and today it is 3:4. If you add the numbers for both ratios together, you get 11 and 7. Finding the LCM of these two gives 77 (because 7 and 11 are both prime).
You find the LCM of the sums because when you find values based on ratios, you divide value by the sum of the ratio.
e.g. I have 100 fruits. The ratio of apples to oranges is 2:3. How many apples are there?
To solve this you'd add 2 and 3 (5), divide 100 by 5 (20), multiply that by 2 (40) because that's the ratio of apples to oranges.
In this case, you do the reverse. So If I have 77 unicorns, then yesterday there were (77/11 = 7, 7*6= 42, 7*5= 35) 42 green unicorns and 35 yellow. The sum of 42 and 35 is 77. If you do this process with the other ratio you'll get similar results as well.
You used Order of Operations. I hope this helped ^^
In order to calculate the area of a triangular prism, You can use the formula,
Area = 1/2 * a * c * h
Hope this helps!
Answer:
about 15.328 yrds
Step-by-step explanation:
two sides are 5 yrds, so 5+5= 10yrds. two sides are 8 ft, 8+8=16 ft. there are .3333 yrds in 1 foot so 16*.3333 = about 5.328yrds
10+5.328 = 15.328
