Lets say we have a rectangle. if the ratio is 7:5, we can put the width as 7x, and the length as 5x (or vice versa, it doesn't really matter.) If the perimeter is solved by 2(h+w), we have 2(7x+5x)=96, or 2(7x)+2(5x)=96, which is C
Answer:
Each would get 0.125 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide 1/2 by 4 and you get 0.125
For this case, the first thing we must do is define variables.
We have then:
x: number of cubic yards of mulch that first truck can transport
y: number of cubic yards of mulch that second truck can transport
Now we write the expression.
The first truck makes 12 trips to a job site:

The second makes 14 trips:

The difference between the first truck and the second truck is:
Answer:
An expression that represents the difference in the total number of cubic yards that the first truck delivers compared to the second is:
