Answer:
16 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Perimeter = 72 inches
Breadth = 20 inches
Perimeter = 2 ( L+B )
72 = 2 ( L+20)
72= 2L + 40
72-40=2L
32/2=L
L=16 inches
therefore , lenght of the tile is 16 inches
To determine this, we need to set up fractional proportions.
First, put 12.5% (what we're looking for) over 100%, which is the total (256).
12.5/100 should be your first fraction.
Now, put x over 256, x being 12.5% of 256.
x/256 should be your second fraction.
Now put these two fractions as an equation.
x/256 = 12.5/100
This may be where things get tricky if you don't pay attention.
Cross multiply the top number (numerator) of x/256 with the bottom number (denominator) of 12.5/100.
You should end up with 100x.
Now, cross multiply the top number of 12.5/100 with the bottom number of x/256.
You should end up with 3200.
Now our equation is:
100x = 3200
Divide both sides by 100 to get x.
100x/100 = x
3200/100 = 32
x = 32 is now your simplified equation.
Your final answer is:
32 is 12.5% of 256.
Also, since 12.5% is 1/8 of 100%, we can test our answer.
Multiply 32 by 8 to get 8/8 (100%).
32 x 8 = 256.
Your answer is 32.
I hope this helps!
The number of bricks= Total height of stack/ height of a single brick.
No. of bricks=3 1/2 ÷ 1 3/4
Convert the fractions into improper fractions;
No. of bricks= 7/2÷7/4
No. of bricks=
No. of bricks= 2
$281 = 5%
The total amount would be $5,620
