how many total pencils and pens did Henry purchase?

Remark

The total number of items bought is represented by 2 + 3 = 5. So for pencils to pencils + pens his ratio of pencils to total is  3/5

Equation

3/5 = 21 / x   Cross multiply

3x = 5 * 21

3x = 105

x = 105/3

x = 35

Conclusion

The total number of pens and pencils that he bought was 35 <<< Answer.

Note

He bought 35 - 21 = 14 pens. That should be 2/5 of the total.

Check

2/5 * 35 = 70/5 = 14 So it checks.

HELP PLEASE my teachers always force me to turn on my camera during class unless I have a valid excuse can anyone give me a crea
allsm [11]

Answer: My internet connection is not good enough.

Step-by-step explanation: This one may be pretty commonly used but also a common problem people always have and it's pretty unavoidable. Tell her that the call\meeting gets super laggy and then ends up freezing and that doing it over voice is a better option for you so you can get the best learning experience or something like that. Basically pretend you care until he\she believes it.

Good luck <3 Let me know if you need another!

If △ABC ≅ △DEF, then what corresponding side is congruent to side BA? (Enter answer using segment letters only.)
sdas [7]
<h3>Answer is   ED</h3>

note: ED is the same as DE. The order of the segment letters does not matter.

============================================

Explanation:

In the sequence ABC, the letter B is the second letter and A is the first.

So the corresponding segment to BA will have its first slot be the second letter of DEF, and its second slot be the first letter of DEF. That's how I'm getting ED for the answer. It is the same as DE because it's the same segment.

The corresponding sides are congruent due to the CPCTC which stands for "corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent".

Jacob copies 30% of a document. He copies 8 pages. Write the number of pages in the<br>document.​
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>Number of documents</u></h2>

jacob copies 30% of a document which is 8 pages

we can solve this using cross multiplication

30 %       :        8

100%      :         x

30%x = 100%*8

30% x = 8

x = 8/ 30%

x = 26.667

to 2sf

<h3><u>number of pages in the documents 27 </u></h3>
