The best way to solve this one would be simple cross multiplying. Multiply the top of one side with the bottom of the other side. In this problem you need to multiply X with 8 and multiply 3 with 5. You'll get an equation of 8X=15, then divide both sides by 8 so that you get X by itself. Your answer will them be X=1.875
Answer:
3 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume the storage room is a rectangle, like most rooms, no indication it is otherwise.
We know it's a rectangle and not a square because it is longer than wide.
We have the perimeter measurement (16 meters).
So, we can make the following equation:
2x + 2y = 16
x being the width of the room, y being it's length. A perimeter is the sum of all sides.
We also know the room is 2 meters longer than wide... so:
y = x + 2
If we replace y in the first equation by its value relative to x, we get:
2x + 2(x + 2) = 16 which becomes
2x + 2x + 4 = 16
4x =12
thus x = 3
Width: 3 meters
Length: 5 meters.
Confirms the 16 meters perimeter.
15 divide 30 by 2 and you have your answer
Answer:
a) 3/5 < 4/5
b) In general if two fractions have the same denominator, then whichever fraction has the numerator closer to its denominator will be the largest fraction.
c) 
<em>or</em> 
Step-by-step explanation:
a) 3/5 < 4/5
Flip the sign and the placement of the fraction so 3/5 is less then 4/5.
b) In general if two fractions have the same denominator, then whichever fraction has the numerator closer to its denominator will be the largest fraction.
c) We need to change the denominators to a common denominator to compare the size of the two fractions:
× 
= 
× 
= 
The common denominators of the two fractions is 30. Comparing the two fractions:
<em>or</em> 
so we get: <em>or</em>
Answer:
d
Step-by-step explanation:
the slopes (2/3x and -5/4x) are not equal but the y-intercepts (3) are and d is the only one that states that
