Answer: 8
Step-by-step explanation: You can use division to solve.
They own a total of 120 CDs.
GIVEN:
Ella: ratio of rock music to total CDs that she owns 25/40
Paolo: has 50 rock music CDs. The ratio of rock music to total CD is equal to Ella's ratio.
Proportion: a/b = c/d where ad = bc
25/40 = 50/x
25x = 40 * 50
25x = 2000
25x / 25 = 2000 / 25
x = 80 total of Paolo's CDs
Total of Ella's CDs = 40
Total of Paolo's CDs =<u> 80</u>
Total CDs in all 120
Visualize the image in your mind and you can see that it forms a right angled triangle with a base,altitude and hypotenuse
base=2 feet
hypotenuse(ladder)=13 ft
We need to find the altitude,
By applying pythagoras theorem,
base square+altitude square=hypotenuse square
Take altitude as x
2 square+x square=13 square
4+x square=169
x square=169-4
x square=165
x= root of 165
x=12.8 feet(approx.)
5x - 2 > 7
x = 2, 3, 4, 5.
for x = 2, 5*2 - 2 = 8 > 7
for x = 3, 5*3 - 2 = 13 > 7
for x = 4, 5*4 - 2 = 18 > 7
