L= length= 1 1/2 yards
A= area= 3 1/2 yards^2
w= width
Area= length * width
plug in numbers you know
3 1/2= (1 1/2)(w)
convert to improper fractions
(3*2+1)/2= ((1*2+1)/2)(w)
7/2= 3/2w
divide both sides by 3/2
7/2 ÷ 3/2= w
to divide fractions, multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 3/2
7/2 * 2/3= w
(7*2)/(2*3)= w
14/6= w
reduce by 2
7/3= width as improper fraction
OR
2 1/3= width as mixed fraction
ANSWER: The width should be 2 1/3 yards wide (or 7/3 yards wide).
Hope this helps! :)
You want to solve for x so add 18 from both sides of the equal sign. making it 3x=12. then divide both sides by 3 making x=4. x is 4.
I think 2 but I might be wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
it's false,
it should be a point
Answer:
20:21
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first start by converting each ratio so that the number of girls is the same
2:3
4:7
The least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12 so...
8:12
12:21
We add 8 and 12 to get the number of junior members...
8+12=20
Then we put it in a ratio with the amount of adult members...
20:21
