5/8÷1/3=5/8×3/1
(multiply by reciprocal instead of dividing)
5/8×3/1=15/8=1.875
I really hate these algebra problems pretending to be geometry.
Anyway angles B and D are congruent in a parallelogram. Geometry part done.
4n - 2 = 2n + 32
2n = 34
n = 17
Answer: 17, which is the 3rd choice
Using proportions, supposing a scale of 1 inch = 3 feet, the actual measurements of her bed are given by: 9 ft x 18 ft.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and equations can be built to find the desired measures in the problem using basic arithmetic operations such as multiplication or division, from the relations built in the problem.
One example of application of proportions is for scale problems, as the actual scale and the drawing length are compared to find the actual length of the object drawn.
In the context of this problem, the scale is given by:
1 inch = 3 feet.
The drawn length of the bed is given by:
3 inches x 6 inches.
Hence the actual length is given by:
9 feet x 18 feet.
As:
<h3>What is the missing information?</h3>
The scale of the drawing is missing, hence we are going to suppose that it is 1 inch = 3 feet.

Answer:
$ 3750 = truck rental; $125 per ton of sugar transported
C is cost; S is number of tons transported
Equation relating C to S would be a linear equation like y = mx + b
C = 125S + $3750
This equation would be graphed in the first quadrant only
you would start with your y-intercept at (0, 3750)
As x increases by 1, your y increases by 125 yielding these points:
(1, 3875) (2, 4000) (3, 4125) etc.
This shows that for each increase by one ton of sugar, the cost goes up $125
Step-by-step explanation:
