CD is called the middle base and is equal to :(AB + EF)/2
CD = <span>(AB + EF)/2
4x = [(x</span>²+10) + (8-x)]/2
8x = x²+10+8-x
8x= x²-x+18
x²-9x+18 = 0
x' = [-b+√(b²-4.a.c)]/2a & x" = [-b-√(b<span>²-4.a.c)]/2a
x'= 6 and x" = 3, So we have2 values of x</span>
<span>Assuming that the red and blonde hair are considered the 3/8ths of the school with light hair, 270 children in the school have red or blonde hair.</span>
Take the number (63) and then divide it with 100, this gives you 1%. Then you want to multiply with with 15 in order to get 15%. The answer becomes:
First change them all into either fractions or decimals. Decimals are probably easier though. 1/5 = 0.2; 12/25 = 0.48; 4/5 = 0.8
Order: 0.2, 0.35, 0.48, 0.5, 0.8
Then you change the decimals that you converted back into the fraction form
Answer: 1/5, 0.35, 12/25, 0.5, 4/5
