The ratio 4:5> 4x+ 5x=35> 9x=35> x=3.8 and then you do (3.8)3.8=14.7. Therefore there is not a correct answer.

Answer:

x= 16 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' and 'y' are the lengths of the two pieces then:

1.) x + y = 36

2.) x : y = 4 : 5 cross multiply

3.) 5x = 4y

by solving the system of equations

x + y = 36

5x = 4y

we find

x = 16 ft

y = 20 ft

Anvisha [2.4K]
For a question like this, all you have to do is remember that a percentage is simply a fraction expressed as a decimal. So, all we have to do is:
\frac{187}{550}, and then multiply our decimal answer by 100 to get the percentage:
\frac{187}{550} = 0.34
0.34 x 100 = 34
Therefore 34% of the students walk to school.
I hope this helped and remember to please try and understand the maths that got the answer, not just writing the answer down :))
