Jake ate 1/6 of the cookies at the party if he ate 5 cookies how many cookies were there in all

1 answer:

3 0

If Jake ate 1/6 of the cookies at the party and we know he ate 5 cookies. We must find out how many cookies there are in all.

$\frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{x}$

Now x here represents how many total cookies are at the party.

We have to simply find out what 1 was multiplied by to get 5.

We can do this by dividing.

5 ÷ 1 = 5

So the numerators (the top numbers) were multiplied by 5. We can do the same to the denominators (the bottom numbers) to get the total number of cookies.

Lets multiply.

6 x 5 = 30

So the total number of cookies is 30

Good Luck! <3

Find the value of x in a triangle. x-20, x+10, x-20

tatyana61 [14]

The value of the angles should be. (x-40°). , (x-20°), (½x-10°) , not (x-40°) + (x-20°)+(½x-10°)

Sum of all the interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

So a equation can be made by the given data,

(x-40°) + (x-20°) + (½ x-10°) = 180°

x-40°+x-20°+½x-10° = 180°

2x+½x -60°-10° = 180°

5/2 x - 70° = 180°

5/2 x = 180° + 70°

5/2 x = 250°

x = 250° × 2/5

x = 50° × 2

x = 100°

So the angles are

x-40° = 100°-40° = 60°

x-20° = 100°–20° = 80°

½x-10° = ½(100)° - 10° = 50° -10° = 40°

The answer can be checked by putting the values of the angle we got in the second statement i.e. Sum of all the interior angles of a triangle is 180°.

60° + 80° + 40° = 100° + 80° = 180°

<span>9 hamburgers and 3 fries for 24.75 and 6 hamburgers and 4 fries for 19.50 can be represented by 9h + 3f = 24.75 and 6h + 4f = 19.5 Multiply by 4 36h + 12f = 99 and multiply by -3 -18h -12f = -58.5 12f and -12f cancel each other out 36h - 18h = 99 -58.5 18h = 40.5 h = 2.25 hamburgers cost 2.25 9h + 3f = 24.75 9(2.25) + 3f = 24.75 3f = 24.75 - 20.25 = 4.50 f = 150 fries cost 1.50 One hamburger and one fries can be represented by : h + f 2.25 + 150 = 3.75</span>
