That expression is written like so:
(5 + d)/(12 - w)
Sin(B) = opp/hyp = 32/40 = 0.8
cos(B) = adj/hyp = 24/40 = 0.6
tan(B) = opp/adj = 32/24 = 1.33 (repeating)
If one foot in real is 1/2 inches, then 1 inch in a blueprint is 2 feet. So a rectangle 18 by 22 inches will represent 18 * 2 by 22 * 2 feet in real. So the size of the yard is 36 by 44 feet.
Let x be the amount of cement and y be the amount of sand. If <span>the ratio of cement to sand for mortar is 1:3, then

and y=3x.
</span>
So, if <span>Sandy puts in x=7 shovels of cement, then she puts

shovels of sand.
