First, find out how much ribbon there is.
3 x 12 = 36
Now, see how many times you can divde that by 8.
36 can only be divided by 8 four times, and there would be 4 inches of ribbon left.
So, you would be able to make 4 bows, with 4 inches of ribbon remaining.
Answer:
AB=29; BC=27
Step-by-step explanation:
So they told us AB=4x+9 and that BC=5x+2, and AC=56 , now to help with the question you can draw this information on a number line. Now on a number you can see that basically AC=AB+BC.
So you would write it as such,,
4x+9+5x+2=56
Combine like terms
9x+11=56
Now you have to isolate the x by itself but first get rid of the 11.
9x+11-11=56-11
You would get
9x=45
Here you can divide 9 by both sides to isolate x.
9x/9=45/9
{x=5}
Now to find the value for both substitue x in the equations for both
1. AB=4x+9 where x is 5
4(5)+9 =AB
20+9 =AB
29=AB
You would do the same with BC
2. BC= 5x+2 where x is 5
5(5)+2= BC
25+2= BC
27=BC
If you want to check your answers you can just substitute x for 5 in the first equation we did where AC=AB+BC
Answer:
25/6 = 4 with a remainder of 1
