Answer: 9

Step-by-step explanation:

An elf ate 15 of your muffins and that was 5/8 of all of them. To get the number of muffins left goes thus:

We can first calculate the total number of muffins the person had. Let the total number of muffins be y. That means the elf ate 5/8 of y.

5/8 of y = 15

5/8 × y = 15

0.625 × y = 15

0.625y = 15

Divide both side by 0.625

0.625y/0.625 = 15/0.625

y = 24

The total amount of muffins is 24. Since the elf has eaten 15, the amount left will be: 24-15 = 9

The quadrilateral ABCD has area of 58 in2 and diagonal AC = 14.5 in. Find the length of diagonal BD if AC ⊥ BD.
inessss [21]
When the diagonals of a quadrilateral are perpendicular, the area of that quadrilateral is half the product of their lengths.
.. A = (1/2)*d₁*d₂
Substituting the given information, this becomes
.. 58 in² = (1/2)*(14.5 in)*d₂
.. 2*58/14.5 in = d₂ = 8 in

The length of diagonal BD is 8 in.
