Make each a ratio, and set them equal to each other.

Larger rectangle = 3/5
smaller rectangle = x/3

3/5 = x/3

cross multiply

3/5(5)(3) = x/3(3)(5)

3(3) = x(5)

9 = 5x

Isolate the x, divide 5 from both sides

9/5 = 5x/5

x = 9/5

x = 1.8

1.8 in. is your answer

hope this helps

1.06(12.95+x)=31.27 solve for x

OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.06(12.95 + x) = 31.27

<u>Multiply the terms in the bracket</u>

That's

13.727 + 1.06x = 31.27

<u>Subtract 13.727 from both sides</u>

That's

13.727 - 13.727 + 1.06x = 31.27 - 13.727

1.06x = 17.543

<u>Divide both sides by 1.06</u>

That's

$\frac{1.06x}{1.06} = \frac{17.543}{1.06} \\ x = \frac{17.543}{1.06}$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Could someone help me find the velocity of the object pls im stuck

Mila [183]

Answer:

10 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity= Position/Time

You can take any point on the line to calculate velocity.

Lets take t=1s

At t=1, position=10m

velocity= 10m/1s

=10 m/s

You can take any other point too, velocity will remain same.

For eg.

At t=5s

position=50m

velocity=50/5

=10m/s

Hope it helps :-)
