Answer:
30
Step-by-step explanation:
15x2=30
10x3=30
ΔABC ~ ΔADE
AC/AE = AB/AD
AC/(AC+15) = 8/18
18AC = 8(AC+15)
18AC = 8AC + 120
18AC - 8AC = 120
10AC = 120
AC = 120/10
AC = 12
Answer:
<em>188 yards </em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Length of one balloon = 12 feet
Since 1 foot = 1/3 yards
12 feet = x
Cross multiply
1 * x = 1/3 * 12
x = 12/3
x = 4 yards
Hence one balloon will be 4 yards long.
If one balloon = 4 yards long
47 balloons = y
Cross multiply;
1 * y = 4 * 47
<em>y = 188yards</em>
<em>Therefore Cesar will need 188 yards of string for 47 ballooons</em>
<em></em>
