Well first you would set up your ratio, 17/x = 35/100. You are trying to find x. To do so you cross multiply and divide. So first you have 17× 100 which equals 1700. The you divide that number by 35 which is around 48 like you said. I usually just round to the hundredths place so just cut it at 48.57 but to be safe say approximately 48.57

<h3>Answer: 28</h3>

Explanation:

90° is 90/360 = 1/4 of a full 360° rotation. Meaning that if the central angle of the pizza slice is 90°, then we have four equal slices.

One slice is 7 square inches, so all four slices combine to 7*4 = 28 square inches

Para la ecuación 2x+5y-3=0, halla la coordenada que falta (-3,?)

butalik [34]

Answer:

$(-3, \frac{9}{5})$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation $2x + 5y-3 = 0$ .

The ordered pairs of this equation have the form $(x_0, y_0)$

Where x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variabe.

That is, the points belonging to the line $2x + 5y-3 = 0$ have the form $(x_0, f (x_0))$

For $y = f(x)$ .

So, we need to find $f(x_0)$ for x_0 = -3.

Then we substitute x = -3 into the equation and clear the value of y.

$2(-3) + 5y -3 = 0$

$-6 + 5y = 3\\\\5y = 9\\\\y = \frac{9}{5}$ .

Then the ordered pair is:

$(-3, \frac{9}{5})$
