Mathematics
1 answer:
dimulka [17.4K]2 years ago

Answer:

6h = 36ft + 3h

The height h of each floor is 12ft

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

The two buildings have the same total height.

Let the total height of each building be H, that is

H (for one building) = H (for the other building)

Also,

For one building, there are 6 floors each with height h, that is

H = 6h

For the other building, there is a ground floor of 36 ft and 3 other floors each with  height h, that is

H = 36ft + 3h

To find the height h of each floors,

Since the two buildings have the same total height, we can write that

H (for one building) = H (for the other building),

Then,

6h = 36ft + 3h

This is an equation that could be used to find height h.

To solve for h,

6h = 36ft + 3h

Then,

6h - 3h = 36ft

3h = 36ft

h = 36ft / 3

h = 12ft

Hence, the height h of each floor is 12ft

3. A fence is made up of eight 8 5/7-foot sections. How long is the fence? Write your answer as a mixed number in lowest terms.
rewona [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

3)A fence is made up of eight 8 5/7-foot sections. This means the total number of feet's is 8 × 8 5/7. Expressing 8 5/7 as improper fraction, it will be 61/7 feet's

The total length of the fence =

8 × 61/7 = 488/7 feet's

Expressing as mixed fraction, it becomes

69 5/7 feets

4) Cynthia spent 3/4 of her time at the gym on the stair machine. She spent a total of 21 3/4 minutes on the stair machine. This means that the time she spent on the gym is 3/4 × 21 3/4 .

Converting 21 3/4 to improper fraction, it becomes 87/4

The time she spent on the gym

= 3/4 × 87/4 = 261/16

= 16 5/16 minutes

5) On Monday, Ryan jogged 1 ½ miles in ¼ hour. On Wednesday he jogged 2 1/3 miles in 1/3 hour. Converting to improper fractions,

the miles ran on Monday= 1 ½ miles = 3/2 miles

the miles jogged on wednesday = 2 1/3 miles = 7/3 miles

How much farther did Ryan jog on Wednesday than on Monday? This would be 7/3 - 3/2

= 5/6 miles

6) One requires 2/3 cup of flour, another requires 7/8 cup of flour, and the third require 3/4 cup of flour.

Total amount of flour that Josh will use is

2/3 +7/8 +3/4 = (16+21+18)/24

= 55/25 = 2 7/25 cups of flour

X+2=2(2x-14) solve for x.
LekaFEV [45]

X =10.


First distribute the 2(2x-14) and get 4x-28.

x+2-4x-28. Subtract x from each side to get 2=3x-28.

Add 28 to both sides to equal 30=3x. Divide each side by 3 to get your final Answer, x=10.

Divide a line of 1.8m into three parts in the ratio of 5:7:8​
kozerog [31]

Answer:

0.45 m, 0.63 m, 0.72 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the three parts of the line be 5x, 7x and 8x

Therefore,

5x + 7x + 8x = 1.8

20x = 1.8

x = 1.8/20

x = 0.09

5x = 5*0.09 = 0.45 m

7x = 7*0.09 = 0.63 m

8x = 8*0.09 = 0.72 m
