Answer:

  6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of "another side." Then "one side" is ...

  2x -10 . . . . . . 10 feet shorter than twice another side

The sum of these two side lengths is half the perimeter, so is ...

  x + (2x -10) = 14 . . . . . two sides are half the perimeter

  3x = 24 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 10, collect terms

  x = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by the coefficient of x

  (2x -10) = 2·8 -10 = 6 . . . . find "one side"

We have found "one side" to be 6 feet long, and "another side" to be 8 feet long. The shorter side is 6 feet.

aleksley [76]

Answer:

Each of the three friends will get one-sixth of the Thomas's enitre marble collection.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of the total marble collection brought by Thomas = \frac{1}{2}

Now, Thomas divides these marbles equally among his three friends. So, each of the three friends will get one-third of the total marble collection brought by Thomas.

Fraction of total marble collection got by each friend = \frac{1}{3} \;of\;fraction\;of\;total\;marble\;collection\;brought\;by\;Thomas

= \frac{1}{3}\times\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{6}

∴ Each of the three friends of Thomas will get one-sixth of his entire collection of marbles.

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

7 cents/mile

Step-by-step explanation:

You are looking for a unit rate of cents per mile.

Change the dollar amount to cents, and divide by the number of miles.

$13.08 * (100 cents)/$ = 1308 cents
