Answer:
The sides are
6
inches,
8
inches and
10
inches
Explanation:
I'd suggest that the question should read 'The perimeter of a triangle is 24 inches. The longest side is 4 inches longer than the shortest side, and the shortest side is three-fourths the length of the middle side. How do you find the length of each side of the triangle?'
In this case the question can be answered. If
x
is the length of the middle side, then the shortest side is 3/4x and the longest side is 3/4x+4
x+3/4x+3/4x+4=24
10/4x=20
x=8
Then the shortest side is 6and the longest side is 10
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets assume the whole pie is 1, that is all fractions added together have to sum 1.
If Victor eats 1/6 out of 5/6, then the rest is 4/6 of the pie, that is the subtraction of those fractions.
C. three sides with the same length
Your question answers itself. You solve by graphing.
I like to subtract one side of the equation from the other, so the solutions are where the graph crosses the x-axis (the resulting function value is zero).
It can be useful to find the "turning point" of each absolute value expression (where its value is zero) and graph that and some points on either side.
Answer: 100 boxes
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since 1 ton = 2,000 lbs
We have to divide 10lbs by 2000 to convert the lbs in tons.
1t/2000lb = xt / 10lb
10 /2000=0.005
0.005 ton = 10 lbs (1 bag)
Each box has 4 bags
0.005 ton x 4 = 0.02 ton
So each box weights 0.02 ton
Since we need 2 tons.
Using proportions:
0.02t/1 box= 2 t / x boxes
x = 2 / (0.02/1)
x = 100 boxes
