1/15
You take out the negative and do the regular equation but turn it into the fraction with one as the numerator and the solution of the exponent as the denominator.
14 to 8 14/8 = (14 ÷ 2)/(8 ÷ 2) = 7/4 = 1 3/4
Your answer is 1 and 3/4
Answer:
32.5 feet long and 20 feet wide
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for the length first, you have it measured as 26 in long and each 4 in is 5 ft so you can go ahead and divide 26 in by 4 in and that gives you 6.5 in so what we did was figure out how many 4 in were in 26 in and therefore we have a 6.5 and so just to match that to the 5 ft per each 4 in (in this case we have 6.5) so we multiply 6.5*5 and that equals 32.5 ft which is the length of the garden bed.
Next we are going to solve for the width which is 16 in wide in the scale and so again each 4 in is 5 ft so here again we're going to divide 16 in by 4 in and that equals 4 in and so again each 4 in is 5 ft so we're going to go ahead and multiply 4 * 5 and that gets you 20 ft which is the width of the garden bed.
Look at the paper for solutions.
21:18, 42:36, 73:54.
Basically numbers that can be multiplied from the original ratios. Like 7:3, 21:18. 7 is mulitplied 3 times to get 21 and 18 is mulitiplied by 3 7 times to get it. Hope that helps.
