A 24 inch board is to be cut into three pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first piece and the third piece is 5 times as long as the first piece. If x represents the length of the first piece, find the length of all three pieces
1 answer:
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

Step-by-step explanation:
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
=
times
=
times
times
=
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
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!
