4/3 = 1/x.....4 lbs potatoes to $3 = 1 lb of potatoes to $x
cross multiply
(4)(x) = (3)(1)
4x = 3
x = 3/4
x = 0.75....so 1 lb of potatoes cost 75 cents
(8,6)...this means 8 lbs of potatoes cost $6
Can you retype whatever you’re asking in this please?
Answer:
the new perimeter will be 1/3 time the perimeter of the original rectangle
Step-by-step explanation:
So you multiply 2 1/3times 1 1/2 and you get 3 and 1/6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the linear dimensions (perimeter) is the square root of the ratio of area dimensions, so the larger : smaller ratio is ...
√(72/50) = √1.44 = 1.2
The sum of ratio units is 1.2 + 1 = 2.2, so each ratio unit stands for ...
(226 dm)/2.2 = 102 8/11 dm . . . . . the perimeter of the smaller triangle
Then the perimeter of the larger triangle is ...
1.2 × 102 8/11 dm = 123 3/11 dm . . . . the perimeter of the larger triangle
