Hello.
72:64 = 9:8 To figure this out, simplify both numbers, as you would a fraction, <em>because ratios are fractions.</em>
<span>The factors of are 12, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1, while those for 20 are 20, 10, 5, 4, 2, 1. The common highest factor for the two numbers is 4.</span>
The distance from the person to the mirror is 5 ft. The distance from the mirror to the giraffe is 15 ft.
15/5 = 3
Multiply the height of the person by 3:
5 ft = 60 inches 60+3 = 63 inches
63 x 3 = 189 inches
189/12 = 15.75 ft = 15 feet 9 inches
The giraffe is 15 ft 9 inches tall
Answer:
Cost of small box = $13
Cost of large box = $18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of small box of candy = $s
And the cost of large candy box = $b
Beth sold 9 small and 10 large boxes of candies for $297.
9s + 10b = 297 -----(1)
Sarah sold 8 small and 5 large boxes of candies for $194.
8s + 5b = 194 -------(2)
Multiply equation (2) by 2 then subtract equation (1) from (2).
2(8s + 5b) - (9s + 10b) = (2×194) - 297
16s + 10b - 9s - 10b = 388 - 297
7s = 91 ⇒ s = $13
From equation (2),
(8×13) + 5b = 194
104 + 5b = 194
5b = 90
b = $18
