Answer:
The ratio of the area of the school banner to the area of the sign is <u>1944 cubic inches : 192.61 cubic inches.</u>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A rectangular school banner has a length of 54 inches and a width of 36 inches. A sign is made that is similar to the school banner and has a length of 17 inches.
Now, to find the ratio of the area of the school banner to the area of the sign.
Dimensions of school banner :
Length = 54 inches.
Width = 36 inches.
Dimension of school sign:
Length = 17 inches.
So, to we find the width of sign by using cross multiplication method:
Let the width be
So, 54 is equivalent to 36.
Thus, 17 is equivalent to
By cross multiplying we get:
Dividing both sides by 54 we get:
Thus, the width of sign = 11.33 inches.
Now, to get the ratio of the area of the school banner to the area of the sign:
Area of the school banner : Area of the school sign.
=
=
Therefore, the ratio of the area of the school banner to the area of the sign is 1944 cubic inches : 192.61 cubic inches.
Answer:
(b) 24
Step-by-step explanation:
The given variable definitions and the given relationships let us write these statements:
LH males = 4 × LH females = 4x
RH females = 3 × RH males = 3y
LH males + RH males = 204 = 4x +y
RH females + LH females = 348 = 3y +x
Your favorite method of solving equations of this sort can tell you ...
(x, y) = (24, 108)
There are 24 left-handed females.
__
<em>Additional comment</em>
Other numbers involved here are ...
y = 108 . . . . right-handed males
204-108 = 96 . . . . left-handed males (=4×24)
348-24 = 324 . . . . right-handed females (=3×108)
__
If you want to solve the equations by hand, you can use substitution for y to get an equation in x:
3(204 -4x) +x = 348 ⇒ -11x = -264 ⇒ x = 24
