if bc = 8.3 cd = 6.7 and ad = 11.6 find ab to the nearest tenth

Sagot :

This is going to be tricky to explain over text, so try to bear with me :)

You have the information given above. Let's start with just ad = 11.6 for now. since these are variables, it can also be understood be understood as a times d= 11.6. 
Knowing this, we can figure out that d = 11.6/a, when you divide both sides by a.

You now have d, so plug (11.6/a) into cd=6.7. You have to do the same thing you did last time, except this time you are aiming to get c by itself. So, multiply both sides by a/11.6 and you get c = (6.7a)/ 11.6. 

Guess what, you know c now! so you put (6.7a)/11.6 in for c in the equation given to you earlier, bc =8.3. The math gets a bit messy here, but you basically solve for b here, which, when you crunch the numbers down, ends up being ~14.3705 divided by a. You are looking for ab, so just multiply both sides by a, and round to the nearest tenth so that you have ab= 14.4
