Given:
The figure of a triangle.
To find:
The missing length.
Solution:
Let x be the missing length.
Basic proportionality theorem(BPT): According to this theorem, if a line is parallel to the one side of a triangle then that the line intersects the other two sides of the triangle in the same ratio.
Using Basic proportionality theorem, we get
Adding x on both sides, we get
The missing length is 3 Therefore, the correct option is D.
Answer: There are 175 pages in the book.
Step-by-step explanation:
If Elena read 20 more pages than Andre and she read 55 pages, to find out how much Andre read you have to:
55-20= the pages Andre read
55-20=35
Andre read 35 pages.
If Andre read 1/5 of the book, then to find how many pages are in the book, you have to multiply 35 x 5. (Multiply by the reciprocal)
35 x 5= 175
There are 175 pages in the book.
Answer:
1) either 5 or 6 students in the group
2) 6 rooms are booked
Step-by-step explanation:
1) x students
3x + 8 = apples
5 (x-1) + y (the one get less than 5 apples)
3x + 8 = 5 (x - 1) + y
3x + 8 = 5x - 5 + y
2x + y = 13
X 1 2 3 4 5 6
Y 11 9 7 5 3 1
because y < 5 so x = 5 or x = 6
2) x rooms are booked
4x + 20 total students
8 (x-1) + y (the students in room not full))
4x + 20 = 8 (x-1) + y
4x + 20 = 8x - 8 + y
4x + y = 28
X 1 2 3 4 5 6
Y 24 20 16 12 8 4
y < 8 answer is 6 rooms
