How to do this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The ratio of BC : CD is 2 : 3. The total length of track on the design is 49 meters. What is the length, in meters, of side GH on the photocopied image?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what are the lengths of the sides?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they r in the pic

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes they are

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7 and 17

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and .... lets just say the others are the ratio: 2x and 3x add them all up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5x +24

OpenStudy (amistre64):

ok, now, we know 5x + 24 = the given value ... solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15

OpenStudy (amistre64):

15 is your GH right?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

GH = CD = 3x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yyeah

OpenStudy (amistre64):

cool

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5x + 24 = 4.8

OpenStudy (amistre64):

hmm, i thought you posted the overall perimeter as 49 tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did

OpenStudy (amistre64):

wheres the 4.8 come from?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u said slove the 5x +24.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes, with the given perimeter 5x + 24 = 49, solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

seems like you and stolas are going the same work
