In the ratio, the numbers are 2 for the shortest side, 3 for the middle sized side, and 4 for the longest side.
2 is to 6 cm as 4 is to x
2/6 = 4/x
2x = 4 * 6
2x = 24
x = 12
Answer: The longest side measures 12 cm.
Answer: 29 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply and simplify to 29 1/4
61/4 % converted into a decimal is 15.25
Using the given information, we can say the following:
Width (W) = x
Length (L) = (2x - 4)
Area of Rectangle = L × W
Using this, we can formulate an equation for rectangle in question:
x(2x - 4) = 30
Expand and move everything to one side:
2x² - 4x - 30 = 0
Simplify by dividing everything on both sides by 2:
x² - 2x - 15 = 0
Factorise:
(x + 5)(x - 3) = 0
Set each factor equal to 0 and solve for x:
x + 5 = 0
x = -5 (a dimension cannot be negative so this is not the solution we want)
x - 3 = 0
x = 3 (this is the solution)
x = W = 3"
L = 2x - 4
L = 2(3) - 4
L = 2"
So, the length the rectangle is 2" and the width is 3"
Answer:
16 shirts and 48 ties
Step-by-step explanation:
you start with 64 and divide it by 4 i got four cause it says that James had THREE times as many ties as shirts leaving him with leaving him with 3 groups of ties and 1 group of shirts . dividing 64 by 4 leaves you with 16 which is the amount of shirts he has and then you would multiply 16 by 3 to get the amount of ties he has.
