Answer:453rft
Step-by-step explanation:
3/18 divided 7/21 =3/18 multiply by 21/7 (we have to flip the second fraction and multiply by 3/18)= 63/126=1/2
So the answer is 1/2
Let the 1st number be x; 2nd number be y; 3rd number be z.
x + y + z = 79
x = number we are looking for.
y = x * 5 ==> 5 times the first
z = x + 16 ==> 16 more than the first
Therefor,
x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79
1st step, multiply the 2nd number: x * 5 = 5x
x + 5x + x + 16 = 79
Add all like numbers:
7x + 16 = 79
To get x, transfer 16 to the other side and change its sign from positive to negative.
7x = 79 - 16
7x = 63
To get x, divide both sides by 7
7x/7 = 63/7
x = 9
To check. Substitute x by 9.
x + (x * 5) + (x+16) = 79
9 + (9 * 5) + (9 + 16) = 79
9 + 45 + 25 = 79
79 = 79 equal. value of x is correct.
set up a ratio to find the length:
15/12 = DE/16
cross multiply the 15 & 16:
15 * 16 = 240
divide that by 12 to get DE
240 / 12 = 20
DE = 20
