Answer:
28 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The piece of ribbon that Lily has is 3 yards 4 inches long.
Let us first put this in inches:
1 yard = 36 inches
=> 3 yards = 3 ^ 36 = 108 inches
The length of Lily's ribbon is:
108 + 4 = 112 inches
She cuts the ribbon into 4 equal pieces.
To know the length of each piece, we divide the length of Lily's ribbon by 4:
112 / 4 = 28 inches
Each piece of ribbon is 28 inches long.
Left side:
x+x+x+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 = 3x + 8
Right side:
x+x+x+x++1+1+1+1+1+1
Left side = Right side to solve x
3x + 8 = 4x + 6
Subtract 4x from both sides
3x + 8 - 4x = 4x + 6 - 4x
Simplify
-x + 8 = 6
Subtract 8 from both sides
-x + 8 - 8 = 6 - 8
Simplify
-x = -2
Multiply both sides by (-1)
-x * (-1) = -2 * (-1)
Simplify
x = 2
Answer
C. x = 2
It looks like a rotation of 270 degrees counter-clockwise and a dilation (enlargement) of 2 times.
Hope this helps answer your question!
The whole number would be one and the remainder is 5. hope it helps.
