I find that if you transform fractions into decimals, they become marginally easier to work with. Nine over five in decimal form is one point eight. If we divide 1.8 by three (Jean-Claude and his two friends), then we come up with the answer 0.6, which, once turned back into a fraction, would be six over ten, or three over five.

Ortega is trying to fill three bags equally with sand. He wants the bags to weigh the same. If the bags currently weigh 55 pound
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

  yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The average weight of the three bags is ...

  (55 +51 +48)/3 = 154/3 = 51 1/3 . . . pounds

By removing 3 2/3 pounds of sand from the heaviest bag, adding 1/3 pound to the middle-weight bag, and the remaining 3 1/3 pounds to the lightest bag, Ortega can make all of the bags weigh the same: 51 1/3 pounds.

Nookie1986 [14]
------------------------------------------------------
Define x :
------------------------------------------------------
Let the height be x.
Height = x
Length = 2x

------------------------------------------------------
Solve for x:
------------------------------------------------------
Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height
64 = 1/2 (x)(2x)
x² = 64
x = √64
x = 8

------------------------------------------------------
Find the height and the length:
------------------------------------------------------
Height = x = 8 in
Length = 2x = 2(8) = 16 in

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The base is 16 in and the height is 8 in.
