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.

Find the value of x. Give reasons to justify your solution. D ∈ AC
miskamm [114]

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

From the diagram, the sum of angle of the straight line BCD is 180°. Hence;

<BCE+<ECF<90 = 180

<BCE+64+90=180

<BCE+154 = 180

<BCE = 180-154

<BCE = 26°

Next is to get x.

The sum of interior angles <BCE and <BEC is equal to exterior angle <ABE

<BCE + <BEC = <ABE

26+x = 3x

Collect like terms

26 =3x-x

26=2x

x = 26/2

x = 13

Hence the value of x is 13
