The lengths of two pieces of fabric are in the ratio 7:5. If the first length is 210 meters, what is the second length? *​

Respuesta :

Answer:

150 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{7}{5} =\frac{210}{x\\}[/tex]

cross multiply:

7x = 1050

solve for x by dividing both sides by 7:

x = 150

the second length is 150 meters

Answer:

150 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

To get from 7 to 210 it was multiplied by 30 (we know this because 210 divided by 7 is 30) so that means to get from 5 to the missing length of the second rope, you multiply by 30. 5 times 30 is 150, so the second rope is 150 meters long.
