Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the scale factor, we have ...
x/8 = 0.25/1
x = 8(0.25) . . . . multiply by 8
x = 2

<em>Additional comment</em>
I like to write proportions with the variable in the numerator. That way they are easily solved by a single multiplication. The trick is to get corresponding parts in the same positions. Here, the fractions are written ...
B/A = smaller part / larger part = x/8 = 0.25/1
17/51=8/x <-- Cross multiply
17x=408 <-- Divide 17 by both sides
x=24
The shortest side is 24 or B.
Answer:
24 - X = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that Mai's water bottle had 24 ounces in it. After she drank x ounces of water, there were 10 ounces left, in order to determine the equation that represents this situation, the following reasoning has to be made:
Since the bottle has 24 ounces of liquid, that is its initial content, from which an amount X is subtracted, after which 10 ounces of water remain. That is, 24 - X = 10.
Thus, this equation is solved in the following way:
24 - X = 10
24 = 10 + X
24 - 10 = X
14 = X
