Question

A carpenter uses 9 1/2 ft of cedar for every 5 2/3 ft of redwood for a construction project. If the carpenter uses 4 3/4 ft of cedar, how much redwood does he need?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 5/6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion:

9 1/2 is to 5 2/3 AS 4 3/4 is to X

9 1/2 : 5 2/3 :: 4 3/4 : x

Note: As a fraction ratio this is:

(9 1/2)/(5 2/3) = (4 3/4)/x

Cross multiply to get:

(9 1/2)x = (4 3/4)(5 2/3)

x = (19/4)(17/3)/19/2

x = (19/4)(17/3)(2/19)

x = 17/6 = 2 5/6 ft of redwood

Answer 2

Answer:

25/6

Step-by-step explanation:

because it is improper function

91/2:52/3::43/4:x

after doing the multiplication then 25/6 is came
