Step-by-step explanation:
Please see the attached picture for the full solution.
Answer:
The wall is 90 meters wide.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. set up and solve a proportion to find the value of w like this:
1cm=6cm
15m=wm
2. cancel out the like units on both sides of the equation
1=6
15=w
3. Equate the cross products, and then solve for w:
1*w=15*6
w=90 The actual width of the wall is 90 meters.
A ratio is comparing one thing to another (numbers in this case). You can write ratios in many ways
here’s three different ways.
There are four girls and and 2 boys.
The ratio of girls to boys is:
4:2
4 to 2
4/2
*THE RATIO MUST ALWAYS BE IN ORDER!!! If boys come first in the problem WRITE THE BOYS NUMBER FIRST! If girls come first, WRITE THE GIRLS FIRST IN THE RATIO!!! (That’s a very common mistake) hope this helps!
Take away the bottom equation from the top so the y’s cancel out
3x = -24
x therefore = -8
and put x back into the equation to find out y
2(-8) + y= 32
-16 + y =32
y= 48
