The answer for this question is A
Answer: 60 or something near that sorry if wrong
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
<em>C. 15</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that these segments formed from each parallel line are proportional, x/5 = x-6/3.
Now cross multiply by multiplying each denominator by the opposite numerator, this is so the denominators or bottom numbers of each fraction will cancel.
x/5 = x–6/3 → (3)(x/5) = (3)(x–6/3) → 3x/5 = x–6 →
(5)(3x/5) = (5)(x–6) → 3x = 5(x–6) → 3x = 5x – 30.
The last step is to do the basic algebra to find x:
3x = 5x – 30
–5x –5x
[5x will cancel when you subtract both sides by 5x]
-2x = -30
(-1) (-1)
[2 negatives make a positive when -1 is multiplied by an expression with a negative coefficient]
2x = 30
÷2 ÷2
[divide both sides by 2 to simplify 2x to x]
x = 15
_____
You can also check that both sides are proportional because
5 → x
x = 15
5 → 15
3 → x – 6
x = 15
3 → 9
5 × <u>3</u> = 15
3 × <u>3</u> = 9
If there is 5/6 left and he plans to eat 1/6 you do 5/6-1/6=4/6 of the pie
Answer:
6 problems per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Total problems = 24
she completed the first 12 problems in 1 hour
The last 12 in 3 hours.
Total time = 1 hour + 3 hours
= 4 hours
unit rate for all 24 problems = total number of problems / total time taken
= 24 problems / 4 hours
= 6 problems per hour
