Question 1089991: A length of cable is 2 1/2 ft. in length, and another is 3 2/3 ft. is equal to the ratio 15:22, when expressed in terms of 1/6 ft.
2 1/2 = 5/2
3 2/3 = 11/3
LCD = 6
5/2 * 3 = 15/6
11/3 * 2 = 22/6
The length of first cable is 15/22 of length of the second. (Total length; 37 ft.)
Am I understanding this correctly? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Cable 1 = ft
Cable 2 = ft
Total length = ft
---------------------------------------
[ cable 1 ] / [ cable 2 ] =
[ cable 1 ] / [ cable 2 ] =
[ cable 1 ] = ( 15/22 )x[ cable 2 ]
