Answer:

3 (5x+7) = 75

15x + 21 = 75

15x + 21 - 21 = 75 - 21

15x = 54

x = 3.6

Answer:

x = 3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

divide both sides by 3

5 x + 7 = 25

subtract 7 from both sides

5 x = 18

divide both sides by 5

x = 3.6

Answer:

3:5

Step-by-step explanation:

s:m = 2:3

m:i = 9:10

convert m to same number so they are comparable

s:m = 6:9 (multiple so the ratio is still the same as 2:3)

m:i = 9:10 (the same thing as before)

s:i = 6:10

s:i = 3:5 (simplify)

4. The students in Mr. Michael’s art class are decorating a booth for Harvest Day. They have blue cloth that is 60 inches long,

MrRissso [65]

Length of blue cloth is 60 inches , length of gold cloth is 48 inches and length of white cloth is 72 inches.

a.

As, the length of all pieces are equal, so for getting the greatest possible length of the pieces, we need to find GCF(greatest common factor) of 60, 48 and 72.

First we will factor out all three numbers completely......

$60=2*2*3*5\\ \\ 48=2*2*2*2*3\\ \\ 72=2*2*2*3*3$

The common factors are: 2, 2 and 3

Thus the GCF $= 2*2*3=12$

So, the greatest possible length of the pieces without having any cloth left over will be 12 inches.

b.

For finding the number of pieces for each color cloth, we will just divide the length of each cloth by 12. So...

Number of pieces for blue cloth $=\frac{60}{12}=5$

Number of pieces for gold cloth $=\frac{48}{12}=4$ and

Number of pieces for white cloth $=\frac{72}{12}=6$
