To solve this problem, we can set up proportion, which is two equivalent ratios. In this case, we are using the ratio of A to B to figure out the amount that B pays using our value for A. We are allowing x to represent the unknown value for the B payment. This is modeled below:

3/2 = £125/x

To simplify, we can perform cross-multiplication. This means multiplying the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other and setting it equal to the product of the other numerator and denominator. This is modeled below:

(125)(2) = (3)(x)

Next, we can simplify the equation by performing the multiplication on both sides of the equation.

250 = 3x

Finally, we should divide both sides by 3 to get our unknown variable x alone on the right side of the equation.

x = 83.33

Therefore, B costs £83.33.

Hope this helps!

Hello!
3 + 2 = 5
125 divided by 5 = 25
25 x 3:2 = 2
25 x 2 = 50

Each polygon pair is similar. Find the missing side length
ohaa [14]

I'll do problem 1 to get you started.

The vertical sides are 3 and x for the left and right figures.

The horizontal sides are 15 and 60 for the left and right figures.

The corresponding sides form fractions which are equal (due to the nature of the similar polygons)

3/x = 15/60

3*60 = x*15 ... cross multiply

180 = 15x

15x = 180

x = 180/15 .... divide both sides by 15

x = 12

----------

Another way you can see this is note how the jump from 15 to 60 is "times 4", so the jump from 3 to x must also be "times 4" to keep the same proportion

3 ---> x = 3*4 = 12

Or you could set up the proportion

60/15 = x/3

4 = x/3

x/3 = 4

x = 3*4

x = 12

-----------

If C is the midpoint of EF, C has coordinate -8, F has coordinate 4, then find the coordinate of E
ycow [4]
<h3>Answer:    -20</h3>

==========================================================

Work Shown:

Let x be the location of E on the number line.

Since C is the midpoint of E and F, this means we can find C's location by adding E and F together and dividing that sum by 2

midpoint = (endpoint1 + endpoint2)/2

C = (E+F)/2

Plug in E = x, C = -8 and F = 4. Then solve for x

C = (E+F)/2

-8 = (x+4)/2

(x+4)/2 = -8

x+4 = 2(-8) .... multiplying both sides by 2

x+4 = -16

x = -16-4 .... subtract 4 from both sides

x = -20

The location of point E on the number line is -20

-------------

As a check, lets add E and F to get E+F = -20+4 = -16

Then cut this in half to get -16/2 = -8, which is the proper location of point C

This confirms our answer.
