Basically you know that the 2 wholes from both sides cancel out.
Set up the equation, 5/8 = 3/12 + 3/x
3/x = 5/8 - 3/12
Set them to have a common denominator, 3/x = 15/24 - 6/24
3/x = 9/24
Simplify 9/24 and you will get 3/8
3/x = 3/8
Obviously this means x = 8
4 times 4=16 So in four days, Cheyrl traveled 16 miles.
=
Multiply both sides by 15
6 =
Multiply both sides by c
6c = 30 Divide both sides by 6
c = 5
Answer: To find the third side of a triangle (there are two answers you could get), you need to use the Pythagorean formula: a^2+b^2=c^2. First answer, 3^2+5^2=c^2. Solve for c. c=5.83. The second answer, 3^2+b^2=5^2. Solve for b. b=4.

Answer:
5 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
When we draw out our triangle, we should see that we have a right triangle and we need to solve for a leg:
Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
12² + b² = 13²
144 + b² = 169
b² = 25
b = 5
