Answer:
Mr. Akika has 11 18-cent stamps and 22 32-cent stamps.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Mr. Akika has 33 18 cent and 32 cent stamps all told, and the stamps are worth $ 9.02, to determine how many of each kind of stamp does he have the following calculation must be performed:
10 x 0.18 + 23 x 0.32 = 9.16
11 x 0.18 + 22 x 0.32 = 9.02
Therefore, Mr. Akika has 11 18-cent stamps and 22 32-cent stamps.
There are 5,280 feet in a single mile.
Which is equivalent to 1,760 yards.
Since they are similar, you need to find the ratio of similarity (I made up the term, there is probably a correct one that I can’t remember).
If you divide 16/40, you’ll find that that ratio is 2.5. So then you just multiply 16 x 2.5. You’ll get 18.
18 is the length of the top of the trapezoid.
You set 18=2x+4 and solve it algebraically. Subtract 4 from both sides.
14=2x
Divide by 2 and x=7
(You can also check that the ratio is right by 16/18 is the same decimal value as 40/45. You’ll get .88888...)
