Answer:

Smaller = x

Larger = 3x -1

Remember "is" is the keyword for equals in a word problem.

3(3x -1) = 5 + 8x

9x - 3 = 5 + 8x

x = 8 smaller

larger = 23

Melissa used 4 cups of sugar to bake 54 cookies. If she’s only used 1 cup of sugar, what would be an equivalent ratio of cups to

daser333 [38]

Answer:

$\frac{2}{27}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that melissa used 4 cups of sugar to bake 54 cookies.

That means 1 cup of sugar will be used to bake $\frac{54}{4}=\frac{27}{2}$ by unitary method

We have to find the ratio of cups to the cookies

We are using 1 cup of sugar

And cookies will be $\frac{27}{2}$

$\text{equivalent ratio}=\frac{1}{\frac{27}{2}}=\frac{2}{27}$

Someone help me please !!!

KIM [24]

Answer:

1. 10

2. 12

3. Sqrt 130

4. Sqrt 45

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the missing side of a right triangle, use the Pythagorean Theorem. The Pythagorean Theorem is $a^2+b^2=c^2$ where a and b are the legs with a being the smallest and c is the hypotenuse.

1. a=6, b=8, c=?

$6^2+8^2=c^2\\36+64=c^2\\100=c^2\\10=c$

2. a=5, b=?, c=13

$5^2+b^2=13^2\\25+b^2=169\\169-25=b^2\\144=b^2\\12=b$

3. a=7, b=9, c=?

$7^2+9^2=c^2\\49+81=c^2\\130=c^2\\\sqrt{130}=c$

4. a=2, b=?, c=7

$2^2+b^2=7^2\\4+b^2=49\\49-4=b^2\\45=b^2\\\sqrt{45}=b$
