It’s 3 because you take the sum of all decreases (which is $9) and divide them by 3
Count how many squares are shaded in and choose the corresponding fraction i guess?
I believe the answer is C, x-3.
The problem statement gives you the relationship between their speeds, and it gives you information you can use to find their total speed. You solve this by finding the total speed, then the proportion of that belonging to Bill.
The total speed is (120 mi)/(3 h) = 40 mi/h.
The speed ratio is ...
... Bill : Joe = 3 : 1
so the speed ratio Bill : Total is ...
... 3 : (3+1) = 3:4.
Bill's speed is (3/4)×(40 mi/h) = 30 mi/h.
Answer:
The length of side of largest square is 15 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The given suares are when joined in the way as shown in picture their sides form a right agnled triangle.
Area of square 1 and perimeter of square 2 will be used to calculate the sides of the triangle.
So,
<u>Area of square 1: 81 square inches</u>

<u>Perimeter of square 2: 48 inches</u>

We can see that a right angled triangle is formed.
Here
Base = 12 inches
Perpendicular = 9 inches
And the side of largest square will be hypotenuse.
Pythagoras theorem can be used to find the length.

Hence,
The length of side of largest square is 15 inches
