Answer:
First piece = 6 inches
Second piece = 12 inches
Third piece = 18 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of the first piece = x
Length of the second piece = 2x
Length of the third piece = 3x
Total length is 36 inches:
x + 2x + 3x = 36
6x = 36
x = 6
Therefore, the lengths are:
First piece = 6 inches
Second piece = 12 inches
Third piece = 18 inches
Answer: 31.25%
Step-by-step explanation: To answer the question <em>what percent of 80 is 25</em>, we translate the question into an equation.
So we have "what percent" that's x, "of 80" means times 80, "is 25" = 25.
Now to solve for <em>x</em>, since <em>x</em> is being multiplied by 80, we need to divide by 80 on both sides of the equation. On the left side of the equation the 80's cancel and we have <em>x</em> and on the right side of the equation, we have 25 ÷ 80 which gives us 0<em>.</em>3125. Now, remember that we want to right our answer as a percent so to write 0.3125 as a percent, we move the decimal point 2 places to the right and we get 31.25%.
Therefore, 31.25% of 80 is 25.
Answer:
30 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
12 times 2.5 = 30
6.4/3.5, OR about 1.83
First job is to isolate the y.
3.5y=6.4x+7
Now divide both sides by 3.5 to get the equation into y=mx+b form.
That leaves a rounded equation of y=1.83x+2
In y=mx+b, the m is the slope. This means the slope of this line is 1.83, or 6.4/3.5
The answer would be -8x-13
