If point Y is between points X and Z, then

XY + YZ = XZ

In words, the distance from X to Y, plus the distance from Y to Z, is equal to the distance from X to Z. (See the attached picture.)

So 6b + 8b = 175

Can you finish it?

Answer:

The value of b is 12.5. The length of YZ is 100 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: XY=6b, YZ=8b, XZ=175 and Y is between X and Z.

It means X,Y, Z are collinear points and  point Y divides the line segment XZ is two ports.

Using segment addition property, we get

XY+YZ=XZ

Substitute XY=6b, YZ=8b, XZ=175 in the above equation.

6b+8b=175

14b=175

Divide both sides by 14.

b=\frac{175}{14}

b=12.5

The value of b is 12.5.

The length of YZ is

YZ=8b=8\times 12.5=100

Therefore the length of YZ is 100 units.

To help answer this question, Deigo wrote the division equation 3/4 divided by 2/5. Explain why this equation does not represent
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The fraction of the rain filled in the gauge will be =  \frac{8}{15}

Diego wrote the division equation incorrectly.

It must be given as \frac{2}{5} divided by \frac{3}{4} .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

After \frac{3}{4} of an hour of rain the rain gauge is \frac{2}{5} filed.

To find the fraction of the rain that will be filled in the gauge if it continues to rain at the same rate for 15 more minutes.

Solution:

15 minutes in hours will be = 15\ min \times \frac{1\ hour}{60\ min} = \frac{1}{4} of an hour.

Given that it has rained for \frac{3}{4} of an hour, and it continues to rain for  \frac{1}{4} of an hour more.

Thus, total time of rain will be = \frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{4}=\frac{4}{4}=1\ hour

Using unitary method to find the fraction of rain filled in the gauge after 1 hour of rain.

If in  \frac{3}{4} of an hour of rain the rain gauge is \frac{2}{5} filed.

Thus, in 1 hour of rain the gauge will be filled by = \frac{2}{5}\div \frac{3}{4}

To divide fractions, we take reciprocal of the divisor and replace division by multiplication.

⇒ \frac{2}{5}\times\frac{4}{3}

⇒ \frac{8}{15}

Thus, the fraction of the rain filled in the gauge will be =  \frac{8}{15}

Diego wrote the division equation incorrectly.

It must be given as \frac{2}{5} divided by \frac{3}{4} .
