Create a proportion: 8000/4 = 7000/x

8000x = 28000

then divide

8000x/8000 = 28000/8000

that equals x = 3.5 tons

---------------------------------------------------------OR---------------------------------------------------

Create a proportion 8000/4 = 7000/x

then simplify to 2000/1 = 7000/x

7000 = 2000x

then divide

7000/2000 = 2000x/2000

3.5 tons = x

Steps:
1. Do a proportion
8000 pounds/4 tons= 7000 pounds/ x
2. Do 7,000 times 4 which equals 28,000
3. Do 28,000 divided by 8,000
4. Your answer is
3.5 tons

Can someone give me the answer :( and then explain how to get the answer..

x=months

so erica: 200+75x

darrell: 350+50x

make them equal:

200+75x=350+50x

get x on one side.

125x=550

500/125=x

x=4.4

Find the area of the right triangle. If necessary, round to the nearest tenth.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

B - 150 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Obviously the first step is to find the missing measurement. To do this, you use the Pythagorean theorem; a² + b² = c².

In this case, let's label the the missing side A, the height B, and the hypotenuse C.

X² + 15² = 25²

Then you must figure out what 15² and 25².

15² = 225

25² = 625

The next step is to subtract 15² (225) from 25² (625), which will give you the result of X².

625 - 225 = 400. 

Now you know X² = 400, you can find the square root of 400 to give you the length of the triangle.

√400 = 20.

The missing length of the triangle is 20 yards.

Now it's just a matter of finding the area by using the formula;

A = $\frac{bh}{2}$

Or,

(20 × 15) ÷ 2 = 150.

And there's your answer. Don't forget to add the units.

Im really confused can somebody explain this?

Given:

The given ratio is $16 : 12$

We need to determine three ratios that are equivalent to the given ratio.

Option A: $8:6$

The given ratio is $16 : 12$

Let us divide the given ratio $16 : 12$ by 2.

Thus, we have;

$8:6$

Hence, the expression $8:6$ is equivalent to $16 : 12$

Thus, Option A is the correct answer.

Option B: $32:24$

The number 32 goes by 16 in 2 times and the number 24 goes by 12 in 2 times.

Thus, multiplying the ratio $16 : 12$ by 2, we get;

$32:24$

Thus, the expression $32:24$ is equivalent to $16 : 12$

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Option C: $4:3$

Let us divide the given ratio $16 : 12$ by 4.

Thus, we have;

$4:3$

Thus, the expression $4:3$ is equivalent to $16 : 12$

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

Option D: $12:8$

The number 12 goes by 16 in $\frac{3}{4}$ times and the number 8 goes by 12 in $\frac{2}{3}$ times.

The ratios are multiplied by different numbers.

Thus, the expression $12:8$ is not equivalent to $16 : 12$

Hence, Option D is not the correct answer.

Option E: $24:16$

The number 24 goes by 16 in 1.5 times and the number 16 goes by 12 in 0.75 times.

The ratios are multiplied by different numbers.

Thus, the expression $24:16$ is not equivalent to $16 : 12$

Hence, Option E is not the correct answer.

Therefore, the equivalent ratios are Option A, B and C

Which line has the same slope as the line passing through (- 4, -1) and (-1, 8)

Troyanec [42]

The slope is [ 8 - (-1) ] / [ -1 - (-4) ] = 9 / 3 = 3;

The line has the equation: y - 8 = 3( x + 1);

y - 8 = 3x + 3;

y = 3x + 11.
