Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Ratio              =                  New Ratio        All these problems are done the same way. Try to conquer the language.

The original ratio = 24 inches wide / 12 inches tall

Shawna's new ratio = you don't know / 2 inches in height (or tall)

Call what you don't know = x

24/12 = x / 2                        Cross multiply

12 * x = 24 * 2                     Combine the right

12 * x = 48                           Divide by 12

12x/12 = 48/12

x = 4

So the new height is 4 inches.

It will be less than 0.56 because you cannot divide 0.56 with 0.64
(either way it would be A)

Answer:

The equation that represent x, the height of the sign is;

2a = 3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the area of the triangular yield is A square feet

and it has a base length of 3 feet.

also the height is represented by x;

b = 3ft \\ h = x

Recall that the area of a triangle can be written as;

a =  \frac{1}{2} bh

substituting the given;

a =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 3 \times x \\   a =  \frac{3}{2} x \\ 2a = 3x

Therefore, the equation that represent x, the height of the sign is;

2a = 3x

What is the answer to this: 1-n=7/12
Zanzabum
You can add, subtract, multiply, and divide things on both sides of the equation as long as you do the same thing to the other side so 
if i add n to this side 

1-n+n

i must add it to the other side 

1-n+n= 7/12 +n

1=7/12 + n 
 
 now you must subtract the 7/12 from both sides

1 - 7/12= 7/12 - 7 /12 + n 

5/12= n

hope this helps!
