If 2 1/3 feet of silver ribbon cost $.21, how much will 9 feet cost
(2 1/3)/0.21 = 9/x
(7/3)x = 1.89
x = 1.89 / (7/3)
x = 1.89 * (3/7)
x = 5.67/7 = $0.81
Three people on the company worth $18,000. Mr. Jones shares 25% and Mr. Smith share is 15%. How much money is Mr. Brown share worth?
Well, if 2 1/3 feet of silver ribbon cost $.21, then we can find out how much 1 foot costs by dividing $.21 by 2 1/3. But before we do that, we should probably warn the ribbon that its prices are being discussed – it might get a little wrapped up in all this! Okay, now let's get dividing!
$.21 divided by 2 1/3 equals... wait for it... $0.09 per foot! Now that we know the cost of 1 foot of ribbon, we can simply multiply it by 9 to find out how much 9 feet will cost.
So, 9 feet of silver ribbon will cost approximately... wait for it... $0.81! That's a real ribbon-able deal!
To find the cost of 9 feet of silver ribbon, we can set up a proportion using the given information.
Let "x" represent the cost of 9 feet of silver ribbon.
We can set up the proportion as follows:
2 1/3 feet : $.21 = 9 feet : x
First, let's convert the mixed fraction 2 1/3 into an improper fraction:
2 1/3 = (2 * 3 + 1) / 3 = 7/3
Now we can rewrite the proportion as:
7/3 feet : $.21 = 9 feet : x
To solve for "x", we can cross-multiply:
(7/3) * x = (9) * $.21
Now let's solve for "x":
7/3 * x = 9 * .21
Multiplying both sides of the equation:
7x/3 = 1.89
To isolate "x", we can multiply both sides by 3/7:
(7x/3) * (3/7) = 1.89 * (3/7)
Simplifying:
x = 1.89 * 3/7
x = 0.81
Therefore, 9 feet of silver ribbon will cost $0.81.
To find out how much 9 feet of silver ribbon will cost, we first need to determine the cost per foot of the ribbon.
Given that 2 1/3 feet of ribbon costs $0.21, we can break it down as follows:
2 feet cost $0.21
1/3 of a foot is approximately 0.33 feet, so 1/3 of a foot would cost 1/3 of the price of 1 foot. Thus, 1/3 foot costs 1/3 * $0.21 = $0.07.
Now that we know the cost of 1 foot of ribbon is $0.21 + $0.07 = $0.28, we can calculate the cost of 9 feet.
To find the cost of 9 feet, we can multiply the cost per foot ($0.28) by the number of feet (9):
$0.28 * 9 = $2.52
Therefore, 9 feet of silver ribbon will cost $2.52.
