Here is your answer.
In triangle ABC, points D and E are on sides AB and BC, respectively,
1 answer:
The length of DE in the triangles is 5.9
<h3>How to determine the length of DE?</h3>The given parameters are:
DB = 6.3
AC = 9.4
AD : DB = 3 : 5
Substitute DB = 6.3 in AD : DB = 3 : 5
AD : 6.3 = 3 : 5
Express as fraction
AD / 6.3 = 3 / 5
Multiply both sides by 6.3
AD = 3.78
The length DE is then calculated using the following ratio:
BD : DE = BA : AC
Where:
BA = BD + AD
This gives
BD : DE = BD + AD : AC
Substitute known values
6.3 : DE = 6.3 + 3.78 : 9.4
Simplify
6.3 : DE = 10.08 : 9.4
Express as fraction
DE/6.3 = 9.4/10.08
Multiply both sides by 6.3
DE = 5.9
Hence, the length of DE is 5.9

of the candy is not m&m's.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Total pieces of candy = 140
Number of m&m's = 35
Fraction =
Fraction =
Both 35 and 140 are multiples of 7, therefore,
Fraction of m&m's =
As the number of m&m's fraction and not m&m's fraction will make a total of 1, therefore
fraction of m&m's + fraction of not m&m's = 1
fraction of not m&m's = 1 - fraction of m&m's
fraction of not m&m's =
fraction of not m&m's =
of the candy is not m&m's.
