Ok so it's a proportion so this fraction is to this fraction. the smaller rectangle has sides 4 and 12. the larger one has 8 and x. so u set it up 4/12=8/x. the 4 and 8 r both the short sides so u want those on top and 12 and x r long sides so those on bottom. since that is not an answer option u can set it up as 8/4=x/12 because u still keep the variables of the same rectangle from being multipled with each other. so answer #2 is correct
The greatest common factor is 2
This is because we start by taking the largest factor that goes into both coefficients. Since the first coefficient is 2, we have to try 2 and 1. Since 2 is larger and goes into 36 evenly, we use that.
Then we use the smallest number of each variable. There are 4 r's in both equations. So, that is the number that we take. There are 2 s's in the first term, so we take that number.
Answer:
cost of each sub = $6, delivery fee = $2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let $x be the cost of each sub and $c be the delivery fee
3x + c = 20
4x + c = 26
x = 6, c = 2
Answer:
24
Step-by-step explanation:
The cake measures 10 inches by 15 inches. If pieces are 2.5 inches long and wide (they are square and equal) then 6 pieces will be cut along the length.
15/ 2.5 = 6
And 4 pieces will be cut along the width.
10/ 2.5 = 4
All together when the entire cake is cut, there will be 4*6 = 24 squares 2.5 inch long pieces.
