Answer:

The answer is b = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle= 1/2 × b × h

A = 21, h = 7, b = ?

21 = 1/2 × b × 7 (multiplying through)

21 = 7b/2

Cross multiply

2 × 21 = 7b

42 = 7b

b = 42/7

b = 6

Answer:

b = 6ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height

Given the area = 21ft^2

Height = 7ft

Base = ?

Using the above formula

21 = 1/2 x b x 7

21 = 7b/2

Cross multiply

7b = 21 x 2

7b = 42

Divide both sides by 7

7b/7 = 42/7

b = 6ft

The length of the base is 6ft

Jim had 360 stamps he sold 1/3 of them on Monday and 1/4 of the remainder on Tuesday how many stamps did he sell on Tuesday
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Jim sold 1/3 of his stamps on Monday, the remainder would be 2/3 of his total stamps.

<em>Divide 360 stamps by 3. Minus the stamps</em><em> </em><em>sold on Monday from 36</em><em>0</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>get</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>remainder</em><em>.</em>

stamps sold on Monday = 360 ÷ 3 = 120

remainder = 360 - 120 = 240

He sold 1/4 of the remainder on Tuesday.

<em>Divide the remainder by 4.</em>

stamps sold on Tuesday = 240 ÷ 4 = 60

<em>He sold 60 stamps on Tuesday</em><em>.</em>
