Answer:
15.6 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the sails are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal.
Comparing the shortest sides, that is
10 : 6 = 5 : 3
let the longest side be x, then using proportion
= 
( cross- multiply )
5x = 78 ( divide both sides by 5 )
x = 15.6
The longest side is 15.6 ft
Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
68 69 71 71 71 73 74 75 75 78 and then cross off each number until you reach the middle. You will see 71 and 73 next to each other, what's in-between those two numbers? 72!
Answer:11.7
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Recognize variables. Starting price is 9, it’s increasing by 1.5% each year, the question asks for the price in 20 years.
2. Convert percentage to decimal. Most calculators won’t understand multiplying by percentages, and instead will understand multiplying by decimals. A decimal is something we can easily work with. It is more commonly taught to work with decimals as well. With that said 1.5% equals .015. (The number in the ones place in the percentage is always in the hundredths place when converted to a decimal, the tens to the tenths, the hundreds in the percentage to the ones place in the decimal, the hundredths in the percentage to the ten thousandths in the decimal. Basically, every individual number [the 5 in 1.5] moves two spaces to the right when going from percentage to decimal form, likewise two to the left going from decimal to percentage form. 23%=.23, 104%=1.04, 0.5%=.05, 1.234%=.01234)
3. Make your equation
20(9*(.015))+9
+9 is your starting point
9*(.015) gives you the amount the price increases per year
20 is multiplied then to that increased price for the next 20 years
4. Crunch em numbers
PEMDAS
So
lets say we have
a/b=2a/2b
we know that if we invert one and multiply it by the other (divide them), we get 1 because a/a=1 where a=a
so
2/3 and 4/6 are equivelent because if you divide them we get 12/12=1
2/3 and 8/12 are equivilent because if you divide them we get 24/24=1
and sinde 2/3=4/6 and 2/3=8/12, 2/3=4/6=8/12
they are equivlent
