I need help on this math problem

Rufina [12.5K]

Hi there!

Let r be the number of matches that Rebecca's team won.

We know that Katheryn's team won 9 more matches than Rebecca's team, and we know that Katheryn's team won 52 matches.

Using this given information, we can create the following equation.

$r+9=52$

If you wish to solve this, we can subtract both sides by 9 to get the following value for r.

$r=43$

Have an awesome day! :)

For each model below write the portion of the grid that is shaded as a percent and as a fraction. EXPLAIN.

Rudik [331]

Answer:

Just find the area of each shape .fir the first triangle it will be (0.5 x6 x6) so the answer is 18 . So the shaded part is 18 out of 100 or 18% . And so on for the trapezoid and the combined figure of square and triangle together

the ratio of sallys height is 7:8. if the sum of their heights is 90 inches. how tall are sally and jack?

Answer:

Sally is 42 in. tall, and Jack is 48 in. tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are some words missing in the problem.

Perhaps the problem was meant to read:

"The ratio of Sally's height to Jack's height is 7:8. If the sum of their heights is 90 inches, how tall are Sally and Jack?"

Solution:

The ratio of the heights is 7:8.

Sally could measure 7 inches and Jack 8 inches, but then when you add the heights, 7 in. + 8 in. = 15 in. which is not 90 inches.

If you multiply both numbers in a ratio by the same number, the new numbers are still in the same ratio.

Multiply 7 and 8 by 2. You get 14 and 16. Maybe Sally is 14 in. tall and Jack is 16 in. tall. Add the heights, 14 in. + 16 in. = 30 in. This is also not 90 in.

We can keep on guessing what number to multiply by 7 and 8 by so their sum is 90, but we can use algebra to write an equation and not have to go through many guesses.

There is a number, x, that when you multiply 7 and 8 by x, the sum of the products is 90. We don't know what x is, but we can write an equation and solve for x.

The numbers in the ratio are 7x and 8x.

7x and 8x are still in the ratio 7:8.

Now we add the numbers 7x and 8x and set the sum equal to 90. Then we solve for x.

7x + 8x = 90

15x = 90

x = 6

We get x = 6. Now we know we need to multiply both 7 and 8 by 6 to get the heights we need.

7 in. * 6 = 42 in.

8 in. * 6 = 48 in.

Check: 42 in. + 48 in. = 90 in.

Answer: Sally is 42 in. tall, and Jack is 48 in. tall.
