Suppose that the value of other ratio is equal to 6/3 then,

20/3x-8 = 6/3
18x-48 = 60
18x = 60+48
18x = 108
x = 6

Answer:

The value of x is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the figure in which

DE=3x-8 and BC=20

we have to find the value of x.

By mid-point theorem which states that the line segment which is drawn to the mid-points of two sides of triangle is parallel to the third side and also half of the length of third side.

$DE=\frac{1}{2}BC$

$(3x-8)=\frac{1}{2}\times 20$

$3x-8=10$

$3x=18$

$x=\frac{18}{3}=6$

The value of x is 6

What are the coordinates of the center of the ellipse shown below?

photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Option D (7, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the general equation of an ellipse has the form:

$\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2} + \frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2} = 1$

Where the point (h, k) are the coordinates of the center of the ellipse

In this case the equation of the ellipse is:

$\frac{(x-7)^2}{4} + \frac{(y+3)^2}{16} = 1$

Then

$h=7\\\\k = -3$

So The coordinates of the center of the ellipse are (7, -3)

Masco Industries has 285,000 total employees. Of those employees, 85,500 telecommute. What percent of the company’s total employ

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

30% of the company’s total employees telecommute

Step-by-step explanation:

Masco Industries has 285,000 total employees. Of those employees, 85,500 telecommute.

To find the percentage of company’s total employees telecommute

We divide the number of employees telecommute by total employees

Then we multiply by 100 to get percentage

Percentage = $\frac{number \ of \ telecommute \ employess}{total \ employees} * 100$

Percentage = $\frac{85500}{285000} * 100$

Percentage = 0.3 * 100 = 30%
