Answer:

45 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

40 % is  18 red apples.

We need 100% which is worked out proportionally:

Total apples in the stand = 18 * 100/40

= 18 * 10/4

= 180 4

= 45 apples (answer).

The easiest way to solve this is to divide the shape into 2 rectangles.

The first rectangle being the big one on the left with the 12 and 6
and the second one being the little one on the right, next to it with the 5

So 12 x 6 = 72 (dont pay attention to the 7, 5, or 10, because all we need is 1 length and 1 width)

And for the smaller one it is a little bit trickier.

So on the bottom we see that is says 10ft, but we cant use that because what we really need is the measurement between the 5 and 7 on the top of the little rectangle

At the top we see that it says 6ft

We can do 10-6 to find the missing measurement.

Because the length of the whole like is 10, and the length of one of the little lines is 6, so the length of 6 + some number =10

So 10-6 = 4

Which means the number we need is 4

So now we have 5 x 4 = 20

72 + 20 = 92

Answer: 92

Find two numbers whos diffrence is 16 and the product is 720
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

the numbers who's difference is 16 and the product is 720 is

36 &20

Explanation:

to finding numbers you have to express the equation in a quadratic equation then Factor it.

since the two numbers have a difference of 16 you can say that the first number is x and the second number is x -16 then their product is 720.

x(x-16)=720

x²-16x=720

x²-16x-720=0

(x-36)(x+20)

there are two possible value of x but since you are looking for the positive value of x, choose the positive value of x the first number is 20.

To find the second number

x-16=20

x=20+16

x=36

the second number is 36

<u>Now </u><u>to </u><u>check</u>

<u>3</u><u>6</u><u>-</u><u>2</u><u>0</u><u>=</u><u>1</u><u>6</u>

<u>2</u><u>0</u><u>*</u><u>3</u><u>6</u><u>=</u><u>7</u><u>2</u><u>0</u>

Quadrilateral ABCD is similiar to quadrilateral EFGH. The lengths of the three longest sides in quadrilateral ABCD are 20 feet,
Anika [276]

Answer:

7.7 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The third longest side is also the second shortest side.

The 14 ft side of quadrilateral ABCD corresponds to the 6 ft side of quadrilateral EFGH.

14/6 = 18/x

7/3 = 18/x

7x = 18 * 3

7x = 54

x = 54/7

x = 7.7

Answer: D. 7.7 feet
