What is the solution of the proportion? 6/a = 18/27

Mathematics

Marta_Voda [28]3 years ago

Answer:

a=9

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this proportion, we have to get the variable, a, by itself.

First, cross multiply.

6/a=18/27

Multiply the denominator of the first fraction by the numerator of the second, and the numerator of the second by the denominator of the first.

a*18=6*27

18a=162

Now, 18 and a are being multiplied. In order to get a by itself, perform the opposite of what is being done. They are being multiplied, so the opposite would be division. Divide both sides by 18.

18a/18=162/18

a=162/18

a=9

So, the proportion, with 9 substituted in for a, will be:

6/9=18/27

What is the total surface area of the solid?
Umnica [9.8K]
We’re going to use the formula for area of a rectangle, which is length x width. We are also going to use the formula for area of a triangle which is 1/2 x base x height.

Let’s start with the rectangle under the triangle ends of the roof. They are 11mm wide, 10mm high, and there are two of them.

11 x 10 x 2 = 220

Then the other sides that are 16 x 10. There are 2 of them.
16 x 10 x 2 = 320

Then the rectangular pieces of roof, 9.7 x 16, and there are 2 of them.

9.7 x 16 x 2 = 310.4

Lastly, the triangle pieces of roof. (1/2)(base)(height), but there are 2 of them
1/2 x 11 x 8 x 2 = 88

Add up all the parts:
220 + 320 + 310.4 + 88 = 938.4 mm

What is the value of x in the equation 1/3x − 2/3 =− 18?
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

x = -52

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{1}{3}x-\frac{2}{3}=-18

Let us solve for x.

\frac{1}{3}x=-18+\frac{2}{3}

\frac{1}{3}x=-\frac{18*3}{1*3} +\frac{2}{3}

\frac{1}{3}x=-\frac{54}{3} +\frac{2}{3}

\frac{1}{3}x=\frac{-54+2}{3}

\frac{1}{3}x=\frac{-52}{3}

Use cross multiplication to find the value of x.

\frac{1x}{3}=\frac{-52}{3}

3*1x=3*-52

3x=-156

Divide both sides by 3.

x = - 52
