Answer:
The answer to your question is 192 pretzels
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
number of pieces = 8
length of each piece = 2 ft
length of each pretzel = 1 in
number of pretzels = x
Process
1.- Convert ft to in
1 ft --------------- 12 in
2 ft --------------- x
x = (2 x 12) / 1
x = 24 ft
2.- Divide the length of each piece by the length of each pretzel
24/1 = 24 pretzels per piece
3.- Multiply the number of pretzels per the number of pieces
24 x 8 = 192 pretzels
Since the triangles are similar, all sides are proportional by the same scale factor.
The relationship between the bases 32 and 8 is 4 (32/8 = 4). This means that the smaller triangle need to be multiplied by a scale factor 4 to result in the bigger triangle.
This means that 4x + 12 is 4 times greater than 15.
The equation to solve for x can be written as:
4x + 12 = 4*15
Now just solve for x as u normally would
4x + 12 = 60
(Subtract twelve from both sides)
4x = 48
(Divide both sides by 4 to isolate x)
x = 12
I hope this somewhat helped :)
Was my explanation clear enough?
The answer is 16 because u need to subtract the largest and the lowest
Answer:
Total tape used by marge is 6 inches .
Step-by-step explanation:
As given
marge cut 16 pieces of tape for mounting pictures on poster board.
Total tape marge uses = Number of pieces × Each piece length
Total tape marge uses = 2 × 3
= 6 inches
Therefore the total tape used by marge is 6 inches .
