Answer: x=5.6 or 5 3/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Cross multiplication is when you have two fractions (ratios) that are equivalent and you can multiply the numerator of the first one by the denominator of the second one, and the denominator of the first one by the numerator of the first one. The answers to these two are equivalent.
So, 5x/8 = 7/2
10x=56
x=5.6
x= 5 3/5
Answer:
greens
Step-by-step explanation:
if your were to get fraction stripes and line up those you can see 4/9 is the biggest. luckily i am showing you fraction strips in this answer
In order to solve for the width (which in turn will help us solve for the area), we need to find a scale.
Since the actual floor is 36 feet in length and the diagram has 9, we know the scale is 36/9, which can be simplified to 4/1.
Since we know that the width, is 32, we just have to divide by 4 to find the scaled down drawing, which will be 8 feet.
8*9 = 72 ft^2
