Let's say that the shorter piece is x and the longer piece is 5x (because it's 5 times as long). x+5x=72 and 6x=72. Dividing both sides by 6, we get that x=12, and 72-12=the length of the other piece (since there are only 2 pieces)=60

Vince's birthday party is going to be at his favorite science museum next weekend. He has 8 friends who want to see the Dinosaur
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Dinosaur Discovery show = 8 friends

Wild Weather show = 4 friends

Cost of Dinosaur Discovery show = $d

Cost of Wild Weather show = $w

At regular price:

Total cost of his friends' tickets = 8 * d + 4 * w

= 8d + 4w

At half price

Total cost of his friends' tickets =

8 * 1/2d + 4 * 1/2w

= 8/2d + 4/2w

= 4d + 2w

Total cost of his friends' tickets = 4d + 2w

A girls hair is 12 3/8 inches long if she had 2 1/2 inches cut off how long will her hair be ?
Darya [45]

Answer: 9 and 7eights

Step-by-step explanation: Divide using long division. The whole number portion will be the number of times the denominator of the original fraction divides evenly into the numerator of the original fraction, and the fraction portion of the mixed number will be the remainder of the original fraction division over the denominator of the original fraction. Which would equal, 9 and 7eights.
