The value of the length of BC is 45 units

<h3>How to determine the length BC?</h3>

The given parameters are:

BC = 15x

AD = 32x - 2

EF = 20.5x + 8

Where the parallel bases are AD and BC and the midsegment is EF

By the midsegment theorem, we have

2 * EF = AD + BC

Substitute the known values in the above equation

2 * (20.5x + 8) = 15x + 32x -2

Open the bracket

41x + 16 = 15x + 32x - 2

Evaluate the like terms

6x = 18

Divide both sides by 6

x = 3

Substitute x = 3 in BC = 15x

BC = 15 * 3

Evaluate

BC = 45

Hence, the value of the length of BC is 45 units

<h3>Amount of sand craig and Alissa collect together at one time is 1.4 pounds</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Craig and Alissa are building a sandcastle on the beach. They each have a bucket

Craig's bucket holds 1/2 pound of sand and Alissa's bucket holds 9/10 pound of sand

Therefore,

$Craig\ bucket = \frac{1}{2}\ pound\\\\Alissa\ bucket = \frac{9}{10}\ pound$

<em><u>How much sand can craig Alissa collect together at one time</u></em>

Add both, we get

$Collect\ together = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{9}{10}\\\\Collect\ together = \frac{1 \times 5}{2 \times 5} + \frac{9}{10}\\\\Collect\ together = \frac{5}{10} + \frac{9}{10}\\\\Collect\ together = \frac{9+5}{10}\\\\Collect\ together = \frac{14}{10} = \frac{7}{5} = 1.4\\\\In\ mixed\ fractions,\\\\Collect\ together = 1\frac{2}{5}$

Thus, amount of sand craig and Alissa collect together at one time is 1.4 pounds

Max went to the store and bought 22 apples. He bought twice as many red apples as he did green, and he bought one-third many yel

katrin [286]

Let the number of green apples bought be x

Green apples = x

Red apples = 2x

Yellow apples = 1/3 (2x) = 2/3 x

Total = 22 apples

x + 2x + 2/3 x = 22

11/3 x = 22

11x = 66

x = 6

Green apples = x = 6

Red apples = 2x = 2(6) = 12

Yellow apples = 2/3 (2x) = 2/3 (6) = 4

Answer: Green = 6, Red = 12, Yellow = 4
