You could pick just about anything 3/8 is not the same thing as 5/7 and neither is 3/4
Something that is equivalent would be something like 10/14 or 20/28
I know there must be an equation to do this, but there is a simpler way.
Just factor number 72 into two numbers which, when multiplied, equal 72. Two of such numbers are 9 and 8, and you can see that the difference between those two numbers is just 1. So that is the answer to your question - the length of the patio is 9 feet, whereas the width is 8 feet.
Hi there!
From this problem we can pull out some key information and remove any excess.
- The trail is 1/4 of a mile long.
- Angelo rode around the trail 8 times.
- Angelo claims he rode 8/4 miles.
- Teresa claims he rode 2 miles.
From that we know that if Angelo rode around the trail 8 times and the trail is 1/4 a mile, he in total rode 8/4 of a mile.
However, Teresa claims he rode 2 miles!
And the answer is... they're both correct!
Angelo did indeed ride 8/4 miles however that is equivalent to 2 miles so they are both in the right.
Answer – C. the sample size 16 is too small
If we toss a coin 16 times in order to test the hypothesis
H0: p = 0.5 that the coin is balanced, we can't use the z-test for a proportion
in the situations because the sample size 16 is too small. The z-test is best
used when the sample size is greater than 30; when the sample size is less than
30, t-test is more appropriate.
Combine like terms
8x+24=x+5
subtract x from both sides
8x+24=x+5
-x -x
7x+24=5
subtract 24 from both sides
7x+24=5
-24 -24
7x = -19
divide 7 from both sides
7x = -19
7x/7 = -19/7
x= -19/7
