Answer:
8 and 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Two numbers are such that their difference, their sum, and their product are to
each other as 1:7:24. Their product must equal what number?
:
Two numbers a & b
Let x = the multiplier
:
a - b = 1x
a + b = 7x
a * b = 24x
:
Add the 1st two equations
a - b = x
a + b = 7x
2a = 8x
a = 4x
or
x = .25a
:
a * b = 24x
Replace 24x; a = 4x therefore:
a * b = 6a
b = 6
;
Using the 1st equation
a - b = 1x
Replace b with 6 and x with .25a
a - 6 = .25a
a - .25a = 6
.75a = 6
a =
a = 8
:
Find the multiplier
a - b = x
8 - 6 = 2
:
Check this
a - b = 2 (1*2)
a + b = 14; (7*2)
a * b = 48: (24*2)
:
The numbers are 8 and 6; their products = 48
Answer: 5 2/3 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question, we are informed that the scale drawing of an airplane is:
1 inch = 3 meters.
Since the length of the actual plane is 17 meters, the length of the plane in the scale drawing will then be:
= 17/3
= 5 2/3 inches
Answer:
10.5
Step-by-step explanation:
7miles÷50min=.14
.14×75 minutes= 10.5
AB = 2.894 inches
