F=length of first piece=x; S=length of second piece=2x

T=length of third piece=3x

.

F+S+T=24 inches

x+2x+3x=24 inches

6x=24in

F=x=4in

ANSWER 1: The length of the first piece is 4 inches.

.

S=2x=2(4in)=8in

ANSWER 2: The length of the second piece is 8 inches.

.

T=3x=3(4in)=12 inches.

ANSWER 3: The length of the third piece is 12 inches.

.

CHECK:

F+S+T=24in

4in+8in+12in=24in

24in=24in

A group of 6p people are renting a vacation house together the price of the rental is 3p to the 2nd power if they split the cost
Tanya [424]
So we just do
cost/number of people=cost per 1 person
so
(6p)/(3p^2)
remember that you can split it up and make ones
\frac{6p}{3p^{2}}=\frac{6}{3p} times \frac{p}{p}=\frac{2}{1p} times \frac{p}{p} times \frac{3}{3}=\frac{2}{1p}  times 1 times 1=2/p

easy way is
remember that
(x^m)/(x^n)=x^(m-n)
so
(6p)(3p^2)=6/(3p=2/p=2p^-1


each member pays 2/p

The expression x-y equals 0.7 if x and y have certain values. Evaluate the following expression with the same values of x and y
elena55 [62]

Answer:

1/0.7

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression x-y equals to 0.7 so we have to substitute 0.7 in the place of x-y....

----> 1/0.7

Dividing would make this equal to a long division answer (1.42857142857) so let's just leave it as a fraction!

I hope this helps! :)
