To answer this, we let x some factor that would agree or make the ratio given true. We calculate as follows:

<span>2:3:4
2x:3x:4x

2x = 12
x = 6 

Therefore, the length of the longest side would be 4x = 4(6) = 24 cm, third option.</span>

Answer:

Option 3rd is correct that is 24 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the shortest  side of the triangle which is 12 centimeters.

We have been given the ratio of the three sides of the triangle

let the unknown side of the triangle be x

So, according to the ratio given we will have sides as:

2x : 3x :4x

since, shortest side is 12

So, 2x=12

x=6

Now, we have to find the longest side which is 4x

So, the required side is: 4 x 6 =24 centimeters

Therefore, option 3rd is correct.

PLEASE HELP!!!! A boat can travel at an average speed of 10 miles per hour in still water. Traveling with the current, it can tr
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

  • 2 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of current be x

<u>Speed of the boat in same direction as current is</u>

  • 10 + x

<u>Speed against the current is</u>

  • 10 - x

<u>Based on the given we get the equation for time</u>

  • 6/(10 + x) = 4/(10 - x)

<u>Solving for x</u>

  • 6(10 - x) = 4(10 + x)
  • 60 - 6x = 40 + 4x
  • 6x + 4x = 60 - 40
  • 10x = 20
  • x = 2

The answer is 2 mph

777dan777 [17]
Subtract the cost of tickets from the total. 4x7.5=30. 58-30=28. Eight boxes of candy were purchased in total. Use c to represent candy. 8c=28. Finally, divide both by 8. 28/8= 3.5. The answer is $3.50.

A map of a highway has a scale of 2 inches = 39 miles. The length of the highway on the map is 9 inches. There are 7 rest stops
Jlenok [28]

Scale : 2 inches = 39 miles

The length of the highway on the map is 9 inches -> the real length of it = 39 x 9 : 2 = 175.5 (miles)

There are 7 rest stops equally spaced => There are 7-1 = 6 equal distance between the rest stops

So, every rest stop is 175.5 : 6 = 29.25 miles apart from each other.

With a scale of 1 inch = 30 miles, each rest stop will be 29.25 : 30 = 0.975 inches apart from each other on the new map.
