This is a problem using proportions.

a/b = c/d where: ad = bc

1/4 : 5 = x : 8

a = 1/4 ; b = 5 ; c = x ; d = 8

get the cross products: ad = bc

1/4 * 8 = 5 * x
8/4 = 5x
2 = 5x
2/5 = x

2/5 of a pizza can be purchased for 8 dollars.

to check:

1/4 : 5 = 2/5 : 8

1/4 * 8 = 5 * 2/5
8/4      = 10/5
  2       = 2

Find the value of x to the nearest tenth. (The last answer is 13.3)
Julli [10]
Your answer is the first option, 8.0. You can find this by using the sine rules for sides, so:
10/sin(90) = x/sin(53)
× sin(53)
7.98 = x
And 7.98 rounded to the nearest tenth is 8.0.
I hope this helps!

Draw 2 different shapes with the perimeter of 16 units
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
First, we must understand that to find the perimeter of an object you must add up the lengths of each side.

Some options are:

A square (4 sides) with sides of 4 units long.
4x4=16

A rectangle (4 sides) that is 6 units long and 2 units wide
6+2+6+2=16

An octagon (8 sides) with sides 2 units long
8x2=16
