Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Because midpoints were used to make similar triangles we can say
AC=2(DE)
5x+12=2(9x-20)
5x+12=18x-40
-13x+12=-40
-13x=-52
x=4
AC=5x+12
AC=5(4)+12
AC=20+12
AC=32
Answer:
41-275=234
15-47=62
-72-{151}=223
612-144=174
Step-by-step explanation:
21 should be the right answer
30 M&Ms
1) Gathering the data
12-ounce bag of trail mix = 18 M&Ms
20-ounce bag=?
2) Assuming that the M&Ms are placed in following a constant rate we can write the following proportion:
12 --------------- 18
20 --------------- y
<em>Cross multiplying it due to the first property of proportions</em>
<em />
12y =20 x 18
12y = 360
y=30
3) So, I'd expect to find 30 M&Ms at a 20-ounce bag of trail mix.
