well, a WHOLE is 1, which we can split in many fractions, say 5/5, 10/10 or 999/999 and so on.
we know 1/5 of the jar is chocolate chip, and there's the rest, well, the Whole jar in 5ths have to be 5/5, if we take away 1/5 from 5/5, the "rest" is 5/5 - 1/5 = 4/5.
now, we also know that 1/2 of the "rest" is peanut butter, or namely that 1/2 of 4/5 is peanut butter, how much will that be? let's divide 4/5 by 2
Answer: D. x=9√3; y=18
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a 30-60-90 special triangle, where we can use the rules to find the value of x and y. (For specific explanation, please look at the attachment below)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<u>X value</u>
- The shortest side of the triangle that corresponds with [x] is 9 units. This is because it is half of the larger triangle's side length.
- Using the rules, the shortest side is x, then the second short side is x√3
- Substitute value in= x√3=(9)√3=9√3
Y value
- The shortest side of the triangle that corresponds with [x] is 9 units. This is because it is half of the larger triangle's side length.
- Using the rules, the shortest side is x, then the longest side is 2x
- Substitute value in= 2x=2(9)=18
Hope this helps!! :)
