Answer:

16 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 part of the ratio represents 24 inches.

Dividing by 3 gives the value of one part of the ratio.

24 in ÷ 3 = 8 in ← value of 1 part of the ratio, thus

2 parts = 2 × 8 in = 16 in ← hypotenuse of smaller triangle

Solve for the indicated variable in the literal equation ​
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

x = \frac{y}{3} - \frac{5}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = 5 + 3x

Required

Solve for x

Subtract 5 from both sides

y-5 = 5 -5+ 3x

y-5 = 3x

Divide through by 3

\frac{y}{3} - \frac{5}{3} = x

x = \frac{y}{3} - \frac{5}{3}

ikadub [295]

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total length of ribbon = 1 yard

Length of ribbon used for project = \frac{1}{2} yard

Length of ribbon the rest of ribbon is to be divided = \frac{1}{4} yard

To find:

The number of ribbons of length \frac{1}{4} yard that can be made = ?

Solution:

Length of ribbon left after the 1 yard ribbon is used for project can be calculated by subtracting the length of ribbon used from the initial length of ribbon.

i.e.

Length of ribbon left = 1-\frac{1}{2} =\frac{1}{2} yard

Now, number of ribbon of length \frac{1}{4} yard can be found be dividing the length of ribbon left with the length of ribbon pieces to be cut.

i.e.

Number of ribbons:

\dfrac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{4}}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}\times 4 = 2
