Let the 2 equal lengths be represented by 2p. Then you can write the equation of ratios
p 2p
---- = -------
16 x+4
which simplifies to
1 2
----- = ------
16 x+4
then x+4 = 32, and x = 28 (answer)
The figure will change by factor of 6
Answer:
The second one (2) is a lie
Step-by-step explanation:
The quantities are all proportional, with 4 donuts costing one dollar being consistant. With this, we can multiply the amount of donuts to 40, and through what we know, we can find that the donuts will cost 10 dollars. This leaves only (2) left.
This works out beautifully. You COULD use long division here, but since your numerator is a quadratic, your first instinct should be to try and factor it. If you factor it, it works out to be (x - 3)(x + 2). Now it just so happens that when you do that, the (x - 3) in the numerator will cancel with the (x - 3) in the denominator leaving you with one sad and lonely (x + 2) as your answer.
Given that a rectangle has an area of 345 square millimeters and a base of 15 millimeters, find the height.
Area of a Rectangle = b x h
So, to find the height, we would reverse it by dividing the area by the base.
Work:
345/15 = 23
So, 23 would be our height.
Thus, the height of the rectangle is 23 millimeters.
