I think it would be 72+4x=400
400-72= 328
328/4= 82
So the answer would be 82=x

The length of a ribbon is 6/7 meter. Sun Yi needs pieces measuring 1/6 meter for an art project. What is the greatest number of

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

Let's find out!

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have to set up an equation

Let x= # of ribbons that can be cut

Thus:

$\frac{1}{6}x =\frac{6}{7} \\x=\frac{6}{7} *\frac{6}{1} \\x=\frac{36}{7}$

So, we cannot have 36/7 ribbons! It's not possible!

So we just simplify!

$x=5\frac{1}{7}$

There we go! She can cut 5 ribbons off!

I'll let you figure out the last one!

Hope this helps!

P.S. Stay Safe!

A photocopier increased the sides of a square in the ratio 4:5.

Svetach [21]

Answer:

The sides are increased by a percentage of 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the length side of the original square

y ----> the length side of the increased square

we have

$\frac{x}{y} =\frac{4}{5}$

$y=\frac{5}{4}x$

$y=1.25x$

the increase is calculated by subtracting x from y

so

$y-x=1.25x-x=0.25x$

Remember that

$0.25=\frac{25}{100}=25\%$

therefore

The sides are increased by a percentage of 25%
