Answer:
The sides are
6
inches,
8
inches and
10
inches
Explanation:
I'd suggest that the question should read 'The perimeter of a triangle is 24 inches. The longest side is 4 inches longer than the shortest side, and the shortest side is three-fourths the length of the middle side. How do you find the length of each side of the triangle?'
In this case the question can be answered. If
x
is the length of the middle side, then the shortest side is 3/4x and the longest side is 3/4x+4
x+3/4x+3/4x+4=24
10/4x=20
x=8
Then the shortest side is 6and the longest side is 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The numbers are 3 and 12. 12 and 3 have a difference of 9 and 3+12+12=27.
Answer:
1 69/145 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use ratio's to solve this problem. We will put water over time
214 cups x cups
--------------- = --------------
145 hours 1 hours
Using cross products
214 *1 =145 x
Divide both sides by 125
214/145 = 145x/145
214/145 = x
145 goes into 215 1 time with 69 left over
1 69/145
