.A length, originally 9cm, is increased so that the ratio of the new length to the old length is 13:3. What is the new length

The new length is 39 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We will use the ratio method to solve the question

∵ A length, originally 9cm, is increased

∴ The original length = 9 cm

∵ The ratio of the new length to the old length is 13 : 3

→ That means the ratio is ⇒ New : Original is 13 : 3

∴ The ratio New : Original = 13 : 3

→ By using the ratio method

→  New  :  Original

→  13      :   3

→  x        :   9

→ By using cross multiplication

∵ x × 3 = 13 × 9

∴ 3x = 117

→ Divide both sides by 3

∵ =

∴ x = 39

∵ x represents the new length

∵ x = 39

∴ The new length is 39 cm

answer:

sometimes

*i think

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal
