Let x = length of segment EF.
Assume that
(a) line segments AD, EF, and BC are parallel, and
(b) the vertical distance between AD and EF is equal to the vertical distance between EF and BC.
Then from similarity between geometric shapes, we can write
x=3.2 (nearest tenth)
Answer: B.
3.2
Answer:
Part c: Contained within the explanation
Part b: gcd(1200,560)=80
Part a: q=-6 r=1
Step-by-step explanation:
I will start with c and work my way up:
Part c:
Proof:
We want to shoe that bL=a+c for some integer L given:
bM=a for some integer M and bK=c for some integer K.
If a=bM and c=bK,
then a+c=bM+bK.
a+c=bM+bK
a+c=b(M+K) by factoring using distributive property
Now we have what we wanted to prove since integers are closed under addition. M+K is an integer since M and K are integers.
So L=M+K in bL=a+c.
We have shown b|(a+c) given b|a and b|c.

Part b:
We are going to use Euclidean's Algorithm.
Start with bigger number and see how much smaller number goes into it:
1200=2(560)+80
560=80(7)
This implies the remainder before the remainder is 0 is the greatest common factor of 1200 and 560. So the greatest common factor of 1200 and 560 is 80.
Part a:
Find q and r such that:
-65=q(11)+r
We want to find q and r such that they satisfy the division algorithm.
r is suppose to be a positive integer less than 11.
So q=-6 gives:
-65=(-6)(11)+r
-65=-66+r
So r=1 since r=-65+66.
So q=-6 while r=1.
25. You need to divide 3240 by 6, and 1100 by 2. Are those equal? That's what it's asking. It would not be equal, because 3,240 miles would be 540 miles per hour and 1100 would be 550 per hour. Very close, however.
26. If 15 scoops makes 5 gallons, then divide 15/5. That's 3 scoops per gallon. It's asking how many gallons can be made with 6 scoops. That would be 2 gallons.
27. All it's asking is 38 times 5, which would be 190.
28. Since 5 gallons goes into 15 gallons three times, you would divide $22.20 by 3. That would be $7.40 each 5 gallons.
