Answer:

1 and 2/5 yards wastes only 1/15 a yard

Step-by-step explanation:

1 and 1/6 yards  would make a waste of 1 and 1/6 yards since you can't make a ribbon out of it. (incorrect)

1 and 2/10 yards  would make a waste of 1 and 1/5 yards since you can't make a ribbon out of it. (incorrect)

1 and 2/5 yards

1\frac{2}{5} -1\frac{1}{3} =\\\\1\frac{6}{15} -1\frac{5}{15} =\\\\\frac{1}{15}

Wastes 1/15 a yard.

1 and 1/2 yards  

1\frac{1}{2} -1\frac{1}{3} =\\\\1\frac{3}{6} -1\frac{2}{6} =\\\\\frac{1}{6}

It wastes 1/6 a yard.

2 yards

2-1\frac{1}{3} =\frac{2}{3}

It wastes 4/6 a yard.

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Its given that perimeter of the triangle is 24 units.

The condition is that length is 3 units more than the width.

l=w+3;

Formula for perimeter is 2(l+w).

so ,

2(w+w+3)=24,

2w+3=12,

w=4.5,

l=w+3=7.5

Hence for the given conditions length is 7.5 and width is 4.5.

I’m confused on what to do next please help
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

There are 585 adults and children

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of adults be a, number of children be c and the number of seniors be a

Amount made per group;

adults; 52 * a = 52a

Children : 26 * c = 26c

Seniors = 20 * s = 20s

Adding all will give 20,490

52a + 20s + 26c = 20 490 ••••(i)

Now let us work with the ratios;

a : s = 6 : 1

a/s = 6/1

a = 6s •••••(ii)

Lastly;

a/c = 4/9

4c = 9a ••••(ii)

We want to get a + c

From the first equation , let’s substitute

52(6s) + 20s + 26c = 20,490

26c = 6.5 (4c)

but 4c = 9a; 6.5(9a)

But a = 6s

So we have; 6.5(9)(6s) = 351s

so we have;

312s + 351s + 20s = 20,490

683s = 20,490

s = 20490/683

s = 30

Recall;

a = 6s = 6 * 30 = 180

4c = 9a

4c = 9 * 180

c = (9 * 180)/4 = 405

So the total number of children and adult is a + c

405 + 180 = 585
