Answer:
18 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
15 over 1 / 5 over 6 ( change your dividing sign to multiply and take the inverse of your second fraction)
15 over 1 x 6 over 5 (simplify)
3 over 1 x 6 over 1 = 18
the awnser is C I just got it right
1) Sketching it
Since the line segment AD = 10x -5 and AC= 3x +1 and CD= 15
According to the Segment Addition postulate we can write:
3x+1+15=10x-5 <em>Combining like terms</em>
3x +16 = 10x -5 <em>Subtract 16 from both sides</em>
3x = 10x-5-16 Subtract 10x from both sides
3x-10x =-21
-7x = -21
7x=21 <em>Dividing by 7 on both sides</em>
x=3
<span>So we wan't to know what is one third of 36. Lets say the number we are looking for is x. Then we can write this this way: x=36*(1/3). So now we get: x=36/3 and the result is: x=12. We can also do it another way: if we wan't to divide 36 into three equal parts we would get: 12 + 12 + 12 so one third of 36 is again 12.</span>
