Step-by-step explanation:
1 to 3
Since you know that he landed on tails 8 out of 32 times, he must have flipped heads for the flips he did not flip tails. So, subtract 32 minus 8, which equals 24, and your answer is 8 to 24. Simplify this like you would with a fraction; the greatest common factor is 8 so divide the "numerator" and the "denominator" by 8. Therefore your final answer is 1 to 3.
F=length of first piece=x; S=length of second piece=2x
T=length of third piece=3x
.
F+S+T=24 inches
x+2x+3x=24 inches
6x=24in
F=x=4in
ANSWER 1: The length of the first piece is 4 inches.
.
S=2x=2(4in)=8in
ANSWER 2: The length of the second piece is 8 inches.
.
T=3x=3(4in)=12 inches.
ANSWER 3: The length of the third piece is 12 inches.
.
CHECK:
F+S+T=24in
4in+8in+12in=24in
24in=24in
-2×5 equals -10 because 2×5 = 10 and you have one negative which means your answer is going to be negative so C.
