Simplify them until they can be simplified no more, then compare both sides.
The answer would be 317d or you could
do 317(d)
Let's say that Stan invested $1500 at 6%. To find how much he invested at 4.5% would be 5000 - 1500 = $3500. Now we have a pattern. Now let's say stan invested x dollars. Even though it is unknown, we can set up how much is left. So subtract x from 5000 or 5000 - x which is C
Answer:
16 yd. This is the park's actual length.
Step-by-step explanation:
Write and solve an equation of ratios:
1 1/4 cm 8 yd
------------ = -----------
2 1/2 cm x
Note that 2(1 1/4 cm) = 2 1/2 cm, so the above equation becomes:
1 8 yd
----- = ---------
2 x
Solving for x, we get x = 16 yd. This is the park's actual length.
