Answer:

18/8 = x/3

x = 6.75 inches (length)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write 2 ratios using the information given:

A larger rectangle has a length of 18 inches and width of 8 inches.

Inches /width = 18/8

So, for a rectangle that has a length of x inches and width of 3 inches the ratio is :

x/3

Solving for x:

18/8 = x/3

18/8 (3) =x

6.75 in= x

Wanda has three times more shirts than her brother, Will. The equation a = 3b, where a represents the number of shirts Wanda has
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

8 shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation a = 3b, where

a = the number of shirts  Wanda has

b = the number of shirts Wanda's brother (Will) has

Hence if Wanda has 24 shirts then

24 = 3b

Divide both sides by 3

24/3 = b

b = 8 shirts

Will has 8 shirts.

If you are having trouble with ratios you can look at them as fractions. The first number being the numerator and the second number being the denominator or the other way around. When you are asked to find an equivalent ratio, you just have to find an equivalent fraction.

How o I get the awnser to 9s+3=57 I need help asap im in 8th grade
PIT_PIT [208]
First subtract 3 from both sides of the equal sign. 
9s + 3 = 57
      - 3     -3
9s = 54

Then divide both sides by 9.
9s = 54
/9     /9
s = 6

You can check it by plugging it back into the equation.
9s + 3 = 57
9 * 6  + 3= 57
54 + 3 = 37
57 = 57
Yep! It's correct! :)

Hope that helped. Algebra can be tricky sometimes I know but it's really just balancing equations.
