It would 6 Pounds/ Liquid gallon.
In the figure below
1) Using the theorem of similar triangles (ΔBXY and ΔBAC),
Where
Thus,
thus, BC = 7.5
2) BX = 9, BA = 15, BY = 15, YC = y
In the above diagram,
Thus, from the theorem of similar triangles,
solving for y, we have
thus, YC = 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
open the bracket
6={(1/5×4y) + 1/5×10}
6=4/5y+2
6-2=4/5y
4=4/5y
divide both sides by 4/5
y=1/5
Answer: three pieces.
The piece of wood is 6/8 inches long - this fraction can be simplified to 3/4 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2.
Thus, he cuts a piece of wood that is 3/4 inches long into 1/4 inch pieces.
1 goes into 3 three times, so the piece of wood can be cut into three 1/4-inch pieces.
