Let call it x
x/4=4/2
->x=8
Answer:
Stefanie bought 10 erasers
Step-by-step explanation:
We can establish the following equation:
TP = NP*PP + NE*EP
Where:
TP = Total price; (4.25)
NP = Number of pencil packages; (1)
PP = Pencil Package's Price; (1.75)
NE = Number of erasers; (What we are looking for)
EP = Erasers Price; (0.25);
Then:
4.25 = 1*1.75 + NE*0.25;
4.25 - 1.75 = NE*0.25;
2.5/0.25 = NE;
10 = NE.
Answer:
The answer to your question is x = 6 and y = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
AB = x DF = 18
BC = 5 FE = 15
AC = 3 DE = y
Process
1.- Find y
Use proportions to find it
DE/FE = AC/BC
Substitution
y/15 = 3/5
Solve for y
y = 15(3/5)
y = 45/5
y = 9
2.- Find x
AB/DF = BC/FE
Substitution
x/18 = 5/15
Solve for x
x = 18(5/15)
x = 90/15
x = 6
916...the 9 is in the hundreds place so its value is 900
791...the 9 is in the tens place so its value is 90
900/90 = 10
so the 9 in 916 is 10 times bigger then the 9 in 791
