Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
In school i did these but i have no clue how to do them.I will try though:)
for 1 batch of pancake = 2 2/3 = 8/3 cups
for 2 1/2 = 5/2 pancake = 8/3 * 5/2 = 40/6 cups = 6 4/6 cups
The lcf of 8 and 56 is 2, the lcf of 12 and 30 is 2, the lcf of 16 and 24 is 2, and the lcf of 9 and 15 is 3.
We apply the Pythagorean theorem twice and obtain:
12 ^ 2 = x ^ 2 + (15-d) ^ 2
9 ^ 2 = x ^ 2 + d ^ 2
We observe that it is a system of two equations with two unknowns whose solutions are:
(x, d) = (-36/5, 27/5)
(x, d) = (36/5, 27/5)
We ignore the negative solution, therefore, the solution is:
(x, d) = (36/5, 27/5)
Answer:
The length of the new fence is:
x = 36/5 meters
