You would set up a proportion. 3/8 = 6/x... cross multiply ( 3*x = 3x and 6*8 = 48) 3x = 48... divide both sides by 3 (3x/3 = x and 48/3 = 16)
So, she originally had 16 feet of ribbon.
To find the missing width/length for the perimeter of a rectangle:
You multiply the found length/width, in this case, the length, by 2. Since there are 2 of the same sides of a rectangle.
6*2 = 12
Now, you have to subtract the perimeter, 26, from the product.
36 - 12 = 24.
You have to divide the difference by 2 because 24 is the 2 missing sides put together.
24/2 = 12
So, the missing width is 12 feet.

Answer:
None of these choices are correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
If a bond is quoted at 99.875, it means that it is sold at 99.875% of the face value;
Face value = 1000
Therefore, Price = 0.99875 * 1000
Price = $998.75
If Leona pays 5.5% of the selling price, it means that she is paying additional cost which will make the total cost more than the quoted price;
5.5% of 998.75 is;
0.055*998.75 = $54.93
The total cost = $998.75 +$54.93
= $1053.68
Therefore, none of the given choices is correct.
