X-4/3=10
Multiply 3 on both sides
x-4=30
Add 4 to both sides
Final Answer: x=34
Answer:
The area would reduce to 1/4 the original area
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a triangle = (1/2)(base)(height) or bh/2
If the triangle base and height were to reduce by one-half, the formula would change to:
Area = (1/2)(1/2 base)(1/2 height) or bh/8. Which is a reduction by 1/4
Simply set up a proportion. 1/3 = x/48. Cross multiply afterwards. 48 = 3x. Solve the equation. x = 16. By using proportions which is another form of a ratio you can easily find out that there are 16 adults at the school. Hope this helps :))
I know this is late but the greatest common factor between the two is 2a.
