3 1/2 pound = 7/2 pounds.
We know that the dog eats 7/2 (3.5) pounds every 21 days since there are 7 days in a week and Mr.Z only buys dog food every 3 weeks.
Set up a proportion. <u>3.5 lb</u> = <u> x </u><u>
</u> 21 days 365 days
<u>
</u>Cross multiply and divide. 3.5 lb x 365 days = 1277.5 / 21 days = 60.83 lb
<u>
</u>
Answer:
5525
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the formula with n = 25 , then
= 
= 
= 5525
Subtract 60 on both sides to get -40.
You are left with 40x=-40
Divide both sides by 40 to leave x by itself.
You get x=-1.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can prove this by using similar triangles. We know that angle ABE and ACD are SIMILAR(we know that by the sign in between them).Therefore, we also know that CDA and BEA are similar, and EAB and DAC are similar. Since all the angles are similar, we also know that the side lengths are equal in proportion. AB/AE is equal to AC/AD. When assigned values, that would create a proportion that is equal since the smaller triangle is similar to the bigger one. If you want to create a proof, break each statement into its own section.
