Question

Matthew had to make a bridge for his math class. It had to be at least 1 1/2 feet long. Harold made a bridge that was 2 1/3 times as long as Matthew’s. What equation would you use to find out how long Harold’s bridge is? please help

Answer 1

The equation used for finding the length of Harold's bridge will be $3H-7M=0$ and  Length will be H = $\dfrac{7}{2}$

What is an equation?

The equation in mathematics is the relationship between the variables and the number and establishes the relationship between the two or more variables.

Here we have the following data:-

Matthew's bridge length is  $=1\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{3}{2}$

Now we have that Harold made a bridge that was 2 1/3 times as long as Matthew’s. From this data the equation will be:-

$H=2\dfrac{1}{3}M\\\\\\H-\dfrac{7}{3}=0\\\\\\3H-7M=0\\\\\\3H-\dfrac{(7\times 3)}{2}=0\\\\\\H=\dfrac{7}{2}$

Hence the equation used for finding the length of Harold's bridge will be $3H-7M=0$ and  Length will be H = $\dfrac{7}{2}$
