Set up a ratio for this problem:
.25 in/50 miles = 2.5 in/x
.25x = 125
then divide by .25
The actual distance is: 500 miles
Well, we know perimeter is just adding all the lengths together.
And we already know 2 of the lengths, so we know the rest. 11 1/2 is the same as the opposite side, and 6 1/3 is the same as the opposite side.
So the sides are 6 1/3, 6 1/3, 11 1/2, 11 1/2.
Add them up:
6 1/3 + 6 1/3 + 11 1/2 + 11 1/2.
Improper fractions:
19/3 + 19/3 + 23/2 + 23/2.
Common denominator, (6):
38/6 + 38/6 + 69/6 + 69/6 = 214/6.
Simplify:
214/6 = 35 2/3
Answer:
X = 1
Y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
we have to figure out what x and y = that make both answers correct
3 x 1 = 3
3 + 5 = 8
That means that the first equation is right with X = 1 and Y = 5
Let's see the second equation
5 x 1 = 5
5 + 5 = 10
That means both equations are right so the answer would be
X = 1 and
Y = 5
If the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles in a jar is 3 to 8, the meaning is for every 3 red marbles there are 8 blue marbles.
3 red marbles------------------8 blue marbles.
ratio=3/8
we have 40 blue marbles; we have to compute the number of red marbles.
1) Method 1; by the rule three.
3 red marbles-----------------8 blue marbles
x----------------------------------40 blue marbles
x=(3 red marbles * 40 blue marbles) / 8 blue marbles=15 red marbles.
answer: B. 15
Method 2: the ratio of red marbles to blue marbles is
ratio=number of red marbles / number of blue marbles
ratio=3/8
if we want to compute the number of red marbles we have to multiply the number of blue marbles by this ratio.
number of red marbles=ratio (red/blue)* number of blue marbles
number of red marbles=(3/8)*40=15
Answer: B.15
