Answer:

16 bags

Step-by-step explanation:

To find this, we <em>divide 2 over 1/8</em>, to see how many <em>units of 1/8 fits into that of 2</em>.

\frac{2}{\frac{1}{8} } can be rewritten as <em>2*8</em>. 2*8 = 16 bags.

<u>Answer:</u>

16 bags

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We are given that Lin is making small bags of trail mix for campers and has 2 pounds of raisins.

If she puts 1/8 pound in each bag, we need to find out how many bags can she fill before she runs out of raisins.

To find this, we just need to divide the pounds of raisins by the amount of raisins she is putting in each bag.

Number of bags Lin can fill = \frac{2}{\frac{1}{8} } = 16

The ratio of the measures of the three sides of a triangle is 1/4:1/3:1/6 and its perimeter is 31.4 centimetres find the length
lina2011 [118]

Given:

The ratio of the measures of the three sides of a triangle is \dfrac{1}{4}:\dfrac{1}{3}:\dfrac{1}{6}.

Its perimeter is 31.4 centimeters

To find:

The shortest side of the triangle.

Solution:

Let the measures of the three sides of a triangle are \dfrac{1}{4}x,\dfrac{1}{3}x,\dfrac{1}{6}x respectively (in cm).

Its perimeter is 31.4 centimeters.

\dfrac{1}{4}x+\dfrac{1}{3}x+\dfrac{1}{6}x=31.4

\dfrac{3x+4x+2x}{12}=31.4

\dfrac{9x}{12}=31.4

\dfrac{3x}{4}=31.4

On further simplification, we get

3x=4\times 31.4

3x=125.6

Divide both sides by 3.

x=\dfrac{125.6}{3}

x=41.867

Now, the sides of triangle are

\dfrac{1}{4}(41.867)=10.467

\dfrac{1}{3}(41.867)=13.956

\dfrac{1}{6}(41.867)=6.978

Therefore, the length of the shortest side is 6.978 cm.

A square has a side of 8cm. The area of the square increases by 50%. Work out the percentage increase in the length of the side.
sertanlavr [38]
Because the side has to be increased by 50% 
you find half of 8, which is 4 and you add 8+4 because you add the increased amount
8+4=12
you then just find the area.... so 12x12= 144
