58 is 5 tens (5*10) and 8 ones (8*1)
x = the length of one piece
y = the length of the other piece
the total length is 100 cm this means
x + y = 100
one piece is 16 inches longer than the other
first we need to convert inches to cm:
1 in = 2.54 cm
16 in = 2.54*16 = 40.64
now we can write
x = y + 40.64
by solving the system of equations
x + y = 100
x = y + 40.64
we find
x = 70.32 cm
y = 29.68 cm
the lengths of the two pieces are 70.32 cm and 29.68 cm.
P=63+63(3/100)
p=63(1+3/100)
p=63(1.03)
p=$64.89
Cafeteria ratio of Swiss cheese to cheddar cheese is 15:17.
Perry’s ratio of Swiss chess to cheddar cheese is 5:7.
Wrong ratio because 5 * 3 = 15 but 7 * 3 does not equal 17.
