The numbers whose sum is 32 in which one number is 3 times the other is 8 and 24 respectively.
<h3>Equation of the unknown</h3>
Let
- x = one of the unknowns
- 3x = second unknown
x + 3x = 32
4x = 32
x = 32/4
x = 8
So,
3x = second unknown
= 3(8)
= 24
Check:
x + 3x = 32
8 + 24 = 32

Answer:
1.6
Step-by-step explanation:
First things first is to find what line QP corresponds with which is line MN
After that you find what multiplied into 5 would make it 2. The easiest way of ding so is to divide 2 by 5 which is 0.4. Now you want to find what line PR corresponds with which is OM. Now you multiply 4 (length of line OM) by 0.4 to find the length of line PR which is x. So now line PR is equal to 1.6 and x. Which also means that x=1.6
