Using proportions, considering the weight of each bar and the ratio, it is found that the ship is carrying 52 gold bars.

<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three.

Each bar weighs 5 kg, and the total weight is of 600 kg, hence the number of bars is given by:

n = 600/5 = 120.

The proportion of gold bars is given by:

p = 13/(13 + 17) = 13/30

Hence, out of 120 bars, the number of gold bars is given by:

nG = 120 x 13/30 = 4 x 13 = 52.

Someone please help me on this!
Alexxx [7]

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

This can be proven with the SAS theorem (side-angle-side)

With a perpendicular bisector, the line it bisects is cut directly in half. This creates two equal sides:

GJ=IJ

and it creates two 90° angles:

∠GJH=∠IJH

And because of the reflexive property of congruence:

JH=JH

Side-Angle-Side.
