Answer:
a. 1 1/8 b. 8/9
Step-by-step explanation:
You can set this up as a proportion to solve. For part a. we know that 2/3 of the road is 3/4 mile long. 2/3 + 1/3 = the whole road, so we need how many miles of the road is 1/3 its length. Set up the proportion like this:

Cross multiplying gives you:

The 3's on the right cancel out nicely, leaving you with

To solve for x, multiply both sides by 3/2:
gives you

That means that the road is still missing 3/8 of a mile til it's finished. The length of the road is found by adding the 3/4 to the 3/8:

So the road is a total of 1 1/8 miles long.
For b. we need to find out how much of 1 1/8 is 1 mile:
1 mile = x * 9/8 and
x = 8/9. When 1 mile of the road is completed, that is 8/9 of the total length of the road completed.
Answer:
4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
In 6 hours, J paints 1 room
So, in 1 hour, J paints 1/6 th of the room
Using similar logic, in 1 hour, T paints 1/12 th of the room.
Working together in one hour, they paint (1/6+1/12) th =1/4 of the room.
1/4 of the room is painted in 1 hour
So, 1 room is painted in 1 1/4=4 hours
Answer:
x = 4 sqrt(5)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
8^2 + x^2 = 12^2
64+ x^2 =144
Subtract 64 from each side
x^2 = 144-64
x^2 =80
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(80)
x = sqrt(16*5)
x = 4 sqrt(5)
Answer:
Solve for x
Step-by-step explanation:

It depends on how many sides it has
If it has 2 then 50 percent
If it has 4 then 25 percent
If it has 5 then 20 percent
You divide the amount of sides by 100
x / 100 = percent
Example 2 / 100 = 50.
