Well, if there are 3 sheep for every 8 horses then there should be 15.75 sheep.
.......you divide 42 by 8 to find the number of horses (5.25) and then multiply that by 3 (15.75).
I hope this helps you.
Answer:
Well I think positive is to the right and negative is to the left
A = first piece, b = second piece, c = third piece
a + b + c = 47
b = 3a
c = 5a + 2
a + (3a) + (5a + 2) = 47.....combine like terms
9a + 2 = 47
9a = 47 - 2
9a = 45
a = 45/9
a = 5 ft
b = 3a.....b = 3(5)....b = 15 ft
c = 5a + 2....c = 5(5) + 2.....c = 25 + 2....c = 27 ft
longest piece (c) = 27 ft
