It is because both the dividend and the divisor are multiplied by 10, 100, 1000, or some other power of ten.

To finance a bridge costing $94,500, the state contributed twice as much as the county and the county contributed twice as much
bearhunter [10]
The city contributed $13,500; the county contributed $27,000; and the state contributed $54,000.

Let x be the amount the city contributes.  Since the county contributes twice as much as the city, the county's amount is 2x.  Since the state contributes twice as much as the county, the state's amount is 2(2x) = 4x.

They total 94,500:
x+2x+4x = 94500
7x = 94500

Divide both sides by 7:
x = 13500
2x = 27000
4x = 54000

Finding the length of each side
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is the sum of the 3 sides of the triangle.

Sum the sides and equate to 54, that is

3x + 4x + 5x = 54, that is

12x = 54 ( divide both sides by 12 )

x = 4.5

Thus

AB = 3x = 3 × 4.5 = 13.5 in

BC = 4x = 4 × 4.5 = 18 in

AC = 5x = 5 × 4.5 = 22.5 in

Ali finished his history assignment in 1/4
Lina20 [59]
Hello there!

For this you simply need to give both fractions a common denominator!

The easiest way to do this specific problem would be to make the denominator 12. Why 12? Because 4 x 3 = 12.

So:

1/4 --> ?/12 --> 1 (3) / 12 --> 3/12

2/3 --> ?/12 --> 2 (4) / 12 --> 8/12

Total amount of time means the sum (adding them together).

When adding fractions, you MUST have a common denominator! (Which is what we just did).

So 3/12 + 8/12 = (8+3) / 12 = 11/12 hours

Notice how the denominator stayed the same? When adding/subtracting fractions, the denominator stays the same! :)

Hope this helped!
