Carol has 88 cm of string and cuts it in the ratio 5 : 6. What is the total parts?

She cuts two parts; one of them measures 40 cm and the other measures 48 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio 5:6 means that she cut one part 5 units and the other 6 units. The units are the sum of both numbers, meaning here that she cud one piece 5/11 and the other 6/11. Doing the math,

88/11=8.   5x8=40.     6x8=48

Hope this helped you!! :D

5x+40

5(x + 8)

7x - 49

7(x - 7)

18x + 9

9(2x + 1)

15x - 10

5(3x - 2)

step-by-step explanation:

for number one all you have to do is factor 5 out of 5x + 40

for number 2 factor 7 out of 7x - 49

for number three factor 9 out of 18x + 9

for number four factor 5 out of 15x - 10
