Answer:
y = 1.1
Step-by-step explanation:
Proportion is a statement that two ratios are equal.
It can be written in two ways:
- Two equal fractions
=
- Two equal sides a: b = c: d.
We can use cross products to find a missing term in it.
Let us solve the question
∵ The proportion statement is
= 
→ Use the cross multiplication to find y
∵ y × 15.4 = 7.7 × 2.2
∴ 15.4y = 16.94
→ Divide both sides by 15.4 to find y
∵
= 
∴ y = 1.1
<em>No need to round it to the nearest tenth because the answer has no hundredth to round it to the tenth</em>
1 foot = 12 inches
12 * 5 = 60 and 8 * 12 = 96
Therefore, 60 inches is a shorter length than 8 feet.
75% becuase it is more than 5o% by the looks of it
13, because 78 postcards divided by 6 cards per board = 13 poster boards
Answer:
The length is 28 and the width is 11
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, we can make the width as x.
Since the length is 5 less than 3 times the width, it's going to be 3x - 5
So now we've got the length and width, just need to find the perimeter, which is all the sides added up together. They already gave us the perimeter, so we just have to solve the equation:
2(3x - 5) + 2x = 78
6x - 10 + 2x = 78
8x - 10 = 78
8x = 88
x = 11
x = 11, but remember, x is the width, not the length. Since we already found what x is, we just have to plug it into the equation of:
3x - 5
3 × 11 - 5
33 - 5 = 28
Answer: Length = 28 (don't forget to add the unit if there is one)
