Hi there!

From the given information, we can infer that the inner quadrilateral has equal side lengths of x and 2x-3.

We can turn this into a mathematical equation with 1 variable.

x = 2x - 3

Subtract both sides by 2x

-x = -3

Multiply both sides by -1

x = 3

Have an awesome day! :)

a chef uses 4 3/4 cups of broth for 10 servings of soup. How much broth is used in one serving of soup?

mafiozo [28]

Set up a proportion. 4 3/4 cup broth is to 10 servings as x cups broth is to 1 serving soup.

x= amount of broth in one serving

(4 3/4)/10= x/1
cross multiply

(4 3/4)(1)= 10x
convert 4 3/4 to improper fraction

(19/4)(1)= 10x

19/4= 10x
divide both sides by 10

19/4 ÷ 10= x
to divide fractions, multiply by reciprocal of 10

19/4 * 1/10= x
multiply numerators; multiply denominators

(19*1)/(4*10)= x

19/40 cup= x

ANSWER: 19/40 cup in one serving

Hope this helps! :)

To make ribbon and bow for a hat, Stacey needs 5/6 yard of black ribbon and 2/3 yard of red ribbon. how much total ribbon does s

larisa86 [58]

First make the denominators of the fractions the same by multiplying.

$\frac{2}{3}$ × $\frac{2}{2}$
= $\frac{4}{6}$

Now we just need to add the fractions together

$\frac{5}{6} + \frac{4}{6}$
= $\frac{9}{6}$

9/6 would be the answer, but it can be simplified further, then converted into decimal form.

$\frac{9}{6}$ ÷ $\frac{3}{3}$
= $\frac{3}{2}$
=1.5 yards

Your final answer is 1.5 yards of ribbon are needed.
