What is the proportion

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ipatiy [6.2K]3 years ago
8 0

m = 16
8 6


Cross multiply:
m * 6 = 8 * 16

Simplifying
m * 6 = 8 * 16

Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
6m = 8 * 16

Multiply 8 * 16
6m = 128

Solving
6m = 128

Solving for variable 'm'.

Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.

Divide each side by '6'.
m = 21.33333333

Simplifying
m = 21.33333333

the lengths (in inches) of two sides of a regular pentagon are represented by the expressions 5x-27 and 2x-6. find the length of
fgiga [73]

Since the pentagon is regular, the sides are all of equal length. This tells you

... 5x-27 = 2x-6

... 3x = 21 . . . . . . . add 27-2x

... x = 7

The length of a side can be found by subtituting this value into either expression.

... 2·7-6 = 8 . . . . inches

Please someone help me and explain this question to me (the last question starting with a straw)
Anastasy [175]

Each straw is  4-1/8 inches long.
You have one gigantic piece of straw material, 123-3/4 inches long.
How many straws can you cut it up to make ?

 ===>                    (123-3/4)  divided by  (4-1/8)            straws.

Each one costs  $0.015  to make.
So, once you find the number of short straws you have,
multiply

===>                 (the number of short straws) x ($0.015) .

That'll tell you how much it costs to make all of them. 


Now you know how to do it on your own.
If you don't get  30 straws  and  $0.45 , please try again.

A gardener has a circular flower bed with a radius of 17 feet. If she wants to make a square flower bed with the same area as th
mylen [45]

We know that

• The radius is 17 feet.

First, we find the circular area

\begin{gathered} A=\pi(r)^2 \\ A=3.14(14)^2\approx3.14\cdot196\approx615.44ft^2 \end{gathered}

This means the square flower bed will have an area of 615.44 square feet. So, we find its sides with the formula for squared areas

\begin{gathered} A=l^2 \\ 615.44=l^2 \\ l=\sqrt{615.44}\approx24.808 \end{gathered}<h2>Therefore, the bed should have sides of 24.808 feet, approximately.</h2>
