21 feet to 8 yards write a ratio as a fraction in simplest form without any units

Dmitriy789 [7]

We know, 3 feet = 1 yard.

We have to convert feet to yards to calculate the ratio so that the final answer doesn't have any unit.

Therefore, 21 feet = $\frac{21 feet}{3 feet}yards$ = 7 yards

Thus, the ratio

$\frac{21feet}{8yards} =\frac{7yards}{8yards} =\frac{7}{8}$

The fraction $\frac{7}{8}$ is already in its simplest form.

Therefore, the given ratio as a fraction in the simplest form without any units is $\frac{7}{8}$

Answer:

x = 18.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{x}{2}$ + $\frac{3}{4}$ = 10

Multiply through by 4 to clear the fractions

2x + 3 = 40 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

2x = 37 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = $\frac{37}{2}$ = 18.5
