Answer: 91. I find the easiest method for questions like this about ratios is to multiply the side of the ratio you are given a value for, in this case the right hand side (children), by a number so it equals the value given. This was 2x13 to equal 26. Then, to find the value of the other side, the adults, you must multiply the left hand side by the same number used on the right hand side. 7x13 equals 91.
Answer: he will be able to make 19 full pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Start off by making 7 feet into 84 inches so the measurements can match.
2. Add 4/14 inches and the 1/8 a inch together so you know how much is being taken off 84 inches. The amount will be 35/8 inches.
3. Divide 84 inches by 35/8 inches = 19 1/5
4. The whole number of the answer will be how many boards you can make from the board.
I believe the answer is -1
Answer:
x = 4, y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Start by multiplying the first equation by 2:
2x + 2y = 12 --> 4x + 4y = 24
Subtract the second from the first:
4x + 4y = 24
- 5x + 4y = 28
4x - 5x = -x
4y = 4y = 0
24 - 28 = -4
so you end with -x + 0 = -4
Solve for x to get x = 4
Plug x = 4 back into 2x + 2y = 12 to find y.
2(4) + 2y = 12
8 + 2y = 12
2y = 4
y = 2
