You would divide 27 by 12.
27 / 12 = 2.25
So, he used 2.25 pounds per sandwich.
the formula is simple interest = Price x rate x time
$2000 x 5 x 10% with is1000
We need to compute for the length of each trophy given that one trophy is 5 inches wider than the other.
Let x be the length of the first trophy.
Let x+5 be the length of the second trophy
The solution is shown below:
x + (x + 5) = 17
x + x + 5 =17
2x =17 -5
2x = 12
x = 12/2
x=6 (for the first trophy)
x + 5 = 6+5 = 11 (for the second trophy)
The first trophy is 6 inches wide while the second trophy is 11 inches wide.
Answer: WX = 4
Concept:
Here, we need to know the idea of segment addition postulate.
The Segment Addition Postulate states that given 2 points A and C, a third point B lies on the line segment AC if and only if the distances between the points satisfy the equation AB + BC = AC.
Solve:
<u>Given information</u>
VX = 18
VW = 14
<u>Given expression deducted from the segment addition postulate</u>
WX = VX - VW
<u>Substitute values into the expression</u>
WX = 18 - 14
<u>Simplify by subtraction</u>
WX = 4
Hope this helps!! :)
