In geometry, "construct" means do it with a straightedge (not a ruler) and compass.
Here's how you do it:
1. Using the straightedge, draw a line clearly longer than segment RS.
2. Place a dot at one end of the line you drew.
3. Stick the "center" of your compass in the R position of the RS segment.
4. Open the compass so the pencil point passes through the S position. Your compass now marks off segment RS.
5. Without opening or closing the compass, pick it up and stick the center into the dot you made on your new line.
6. Still without opening or closing the compass, make a hash mark that crosses your new line.
7. Place a dot where the hash mark crosses the line. The segment on the new line between the two dots is a segment congruent to RS.
Notice that you didn't use a ruler to measure anything. This is called a "construction" in geometry. It's what the ancient Greeks used to do.
For one day he eats 3/4 cup of doog foods. For 7 days he eats 5 cup and 1/4 cup of food.
1/4×3=(1×3)/4=3/4
3/4×7=(3×7)/4=21/4
21/4=5 1/4.

There are 12 more of white and blue cars than silver and red cars
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Number of black cars counted by Ed = 23
Number of red cars counted by Ed = 9
Number of blue cars counted by Ed = 17
Number of white cars counted by Ed = 25
Number of silver cars counted by Ed = 21
We need to determine how many more white and blue cars are there than silver and red cars
Step 2 :
Total of white and blue cars = 25 + 17 = 42 cars
Total of sliver and red cars = 21 + 9 = 30 cars
Difference = 42 - 30 = 12 cars
Hence there are 12 more of white and blue cars than silver and red cars
Step 3 :
Answer :
There are 12 more of blue and white cars than red and silver cars
