Remark
The trick here is to realize that you have to find the number both have in order to find the difference. That means you take (effectively) 3/8 and 5/8 to find out how much each of them has. The 8 stands for the 136
Step One
Find the number of stamps Alex has. Remember his ratio is the smaller so he will have 3/8
Alex = 3/8 * 136
Alex = 408/8 = 51
Step 2
Find the number that Freddy has.
The total is 136
<u>Formula</u>
Freddy = Total - Alex
Freddy = 136 - 51
Freddy = 85
<u>Check</u>
Let us see if 5/8 * 136 = 85
5*136/8 = 680 / 8 = 85 So your answers are correct.
Difference
Difference = 85 - 51 = 34 which is how many more stamps Freddy has than Alex.
I believe it is 64 miles.
Hope this helps! :)
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
the area of a triangle is
baseline × height / 2
so, we know in our case
b(b+12) = 189 cm²
b² + 12b - 189 = 0
let's try to solve this by completing the square.
that means we try to find the expression
(b + k)² + c
that is equal to
b² + 12b - 189
(b + k)² + c = b² + 2kb + k² + c = b² + 12b - 189
so,
2k = 12
k = 6
and then
k² + c = -189
6² + c = -189
36 + c = -189
c = -225
(b + 6)² - 225 = 0
(b + 6)² = 225
b + 6 = 15
b = 9
so, the baseline b = 9 cm.
the height b+12 = 9+12 = 21 cm.
