There are sixteen ounces in a pound. 3/8 x 16/1= 48/8=6 oz
Area of a triangle = 1/2 × base × height
Plug in what we know.
78 = 1/2 × b × 9¾
Multilply each side by 2 to get rid of the 1/2...
156 = b × 9¾
Write 9¾ as an improper fraction.
(9¾ = 9 + 3/4 = (9×4)/4 + 3/4 = 36/4 + 3/4 = 39/4)
156 = b × 39/4
Multiply each side by 4...
624 = b × 39
Divide each side by 39...
16 = b
Done! The length of the base of the triangle is <u>16</u> inches.
Answer:
one solution the solution being ×=7/2
Step-by-step explanation:
one solution
Total amount paid if he bought = 6000 + 726(12 x 3) = 6000 + 726(36) = 6000 + 26,136 = 32,136
Total amount paid if he rents = 2000 + 37P, where P is the monthly rent
For renting to be cheaper
2000 + 37P < 32,136
37P < 32136 - 2000 = 30136
P < 30136 / 37 = 814.49
Therefore, the maximum rent he could pay is $814
