Step-by-step explanation:
The question state that; the sum of a number, 1/6 of that number, 2 1/2 of that number, and 7 is 12 1/2. Find the number.
First, we need to interpret and represent this statement mathematically
Let n be the number.
The sum means 'addition'
1/6 of that number is 1/6 of n = 1/6 × n =
2 1/2 of that number is 2 1/2 of n = 2 1/2 × n = 5/2 × n =
So the question says that, when we add; ,
and 7 all together, the value is 12 1/2
That is;
+
+ 7 = 12 1/2
+
+ 7 =
( changing 12 1/2 to improper fraction will give
)
So we can now go ahead and solve for n
+
+ 7 =
subtract 7 from both-side of the equation
+
=
- 7
=
=
can be reduced to give us
=
Cross multiply
8n × 2 = 11× 3
16n = 33
Divide both-side of the equation by 16
=
(On the left-hand side of the equation, 16 will cancel-out 16 leaving us with just, while on the right-hand side of the equation 33 will be divided by 16)
n = =
Therefore the number is
<u>Additional requirements in figure</u> :-
Mark point :-
- A
- B
- C
- D
- E
Draw a straight line from E to AB .
And the point line joins mark it as "F" .
It will generate quadrilateral FBCD.
we get to know In quadrilateral left angle is 90°
How ?
{
proof :
As three angles are given 90° So third angle will also be 90°
Reason:
→ Sum of interior angles = 2 (no. of angles - 2 × 180°
→Sum of interior angles = (4-2 × 180°)
→Sum of interior angles = (2 × 180°)
→Sum of interior angles = 360°
}
<u>✿</u><u>Now let the left angle be </u><u>x</u>
- 90° +90° + 90° + x = 360°
- 180° + 90° + x = 360°
- 270° + x = 360
- x = 360° - 270°
- x = 90°
<u>we know</u> :
Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
STEPS :
- Area of rectangle = Length × Breadth
- Area of rectangle = 7 × 8
- Area of rectangle = 56 in²
<u>Now let's find EF</u> :
- EF = BD - EC
- EF = 7 - 4
- EF = 3 in
<u>To find A</u>
<u>F</u> :
- A•F = AB - CD
- A•F = 12 - 8
- A•F = 4 in
<u>In triangle AFE</u>:
- EF is base of triangle
- A•F is height of triangle
We know :
<u>Area of triangle =(</u><u> </u><u>Height</u><u> </u><u>×</u><u> </u><u>Base)/2</u>
Steps :
- Area of triangle = (Height × Base)/2
- Area of triangle = (4 × 3)/2
- Area of triangle = 12/2
- Area of triangle = 6 in²
<u>To find area of figure</u> :
- Area of figure = Area of rectangle + Area of triangle
- Area of figure = 56 + 6
- Area of figure = 62 in²
