23:8 is the simplest form. However, you can put 5.75:2 or even 2.86/1 if you are looking for the absolute simplest
Answer:
2100 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
1 yard is 3 ft, so 70 yards is (70 yd)×(3 ft/yd) = 210 feet.
The area of the pavement is the product of its length and width:
area = (210 ft)(10 ft) = 2100 ft²
_____
If you keep the units with the numbers as I have done here, you find that the product of (10 ft) and (70 yd) does not have the units of ft². Rather, the units are ft·yd, which is <em>not what the problem is asking for</em>.

Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The marked sides are proportional, so we have ...
x/8 = (x +5)/12
3x = 2(x +5) . . . . . multiply by 24 to clear fractions
3x = 2x + 10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
x = 10 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
We observe that the difference between the upper segment lengths is ...
(x +5) -(x) = 5
and the difference between the lower segment lengths is ...
12 -8 = 4
This means the upper segment lengths are 5/4 times as long as the lower segments. Then ...
x = (5/4)(8) = 10
1). The inequality says "height is 54 or more".
Any height that is less than 54 does NOT qualify.
2). The sign says "Maximum total weight 800 pounds".
Any weight that's 800 pounds or less is OK.
3). Paula has scored 21, 25, and 15 points.
. . . . . they're NOT all greater than 21
. . . . . they ARE all 25 or less
. . . . . they ARE all less than 30
. . . . . they ARE all 10 or more .
4). First, write down the number of cans that
each student collected, but arrange them in order.
Then check each choice.
A). misses the highest 3 students completely
B). includes everybody
C). misses the lowest 3 students completely
D). OK, but the first and last intervals aren't needed,
because nobody's cans are in those intervals
