Answer:

38 or 38.33 cups of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need 5 cups of water for every 3 ounces of medication. We can set up a proportion: #oz of medication/#cups of water= #oz of medication/# cups of water. We can plug in some numbers from the problem.

3/5=23/n. You can use any variable, but I'm using n for how many cups of water Jim will need for 23 ounces of medication.

We can cross multiply: 3*n=5*23.

3n=115

We divide both sides by 3.

n=38.3333333.......

Rounding to the nearest whole number, Jim will need 38 cups of water, or 38.33 cups if you're rounding to the nearest hundredth.

Hope this helps :)

In the figure below, AMNO
NeX [460]

Given:

\Delta MNO\cong \Delta PQR

To find:

The length of QR.

Solution:

We have,

\Delta MNO\cong \Delta PQR

Then, MN=PQ                 (CPCTC)

10=4x-2

10+2=4x

12=4x

Divide both sides by 4.

\dfrac{12}{4}=x

3=x

Similarity,

MO=PR            (CPCTC)

2y+3=21

2y=21-3

2y=18

Divide both sides by 2.

y=9

Now,

x+y=3+9

x+y=12

Therefore, the correct option is d.
