306 gallons of milk containing 6% butterfat contain 18.36 gallons of butterfat.
x - the number of gallons of 7% milk
y - the number of gallons of 4% milk
204 gallons of 7% milk and 102 gallons of 4% milk should be used.

Answer:
y = 27
Step-by-step explanation:
The altitude of a right triangle creates two <em>triangles that are each similar to each other and to the larger right triangle</em>. This means corresponding sides are proportional.
If we write the proportion for the legs, we get ...
(long leg) / (short leg) = y/18 = 18/12
Multiplying by 18 gives us ...
y = 18(18/12)
y = 27
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
The leg/leg proportion above gave rise to the relation ...
altitude² = (left hypotenuse segment)×(right hypotenuse segment)
That is, the altitude is the <em>geometric mean</em> of the two hypotenuse segments it touches. 18 = √(12y)
__
There are two other "geometric mean" relationships in this triangle.
- The upper left side is the geometric mean of the left hypotenuse segment and the whole hypotenuse (the two segments it touches at the bottom).
- The upper right side is the geometric mean of the right hypotenuse segment and the whole hypotenuse (the two segments it touches at the bottom).
Each of these relationships is ultimately derived from the fact that all of the triangles are similar. You really only need to remember that these triangles are all similar and corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional. (In some cases, it can be a bit of a shortcut if you remember the geometric mean relations.)
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
equation is y=2x+3
The point we have is (15,29)
i.e. x=15 and y=29
if we put x=15 in the equation we should get the value of y=29
y=2(15)+3
=30-3
=27
Here, we didn't get y=29 instead we got y=27
So the point (15,29) doesn't follow that equation
Answer:
$21.65
brainliest?
Step-by-step explanation:
1 yard = 3 feet
so 5 feet would = to 1 2/3 yards = 5/3 yards
12.99*5/3
12 99/100=1299/100
1299/100 x 5/3=433/20
433/20 = 21 13/20
13/20 x 5/5= 65/100=0.65
0.65+21
$21.65
hope this helped!
have a good day!
