Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required common multiplier of the given ratios be x.

Therefore, the required numbers are 5x and 7x.

According to the given information:

5x + 7x = 96

12x = 96

x = 96/12

x = 8

7x = 7*8 = 56

Thus, the largest number is 56.

What is the length of Line segment M N? 58 cm 75 cm 88 cm 116 cm

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

$MN=58\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The Midpoint Theorem states that the segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side

In this problem

M is the mid-point segment AB

N is the mid-point segment BC

Applying the Midpoint Theorem

MN is parallel to AC

$MN=\frac{1}{2}AC$

we have that

$AC=116\ cm$ ---> given problem

substitute

$MN=\frac{1}{2}(116)$

$MN=58\ cm$
