Multiplicative inverse of 7 is 1/7
Answer:
CB = 5, 
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming that the marks next to angle D mean that 
, then there is enough information to conclude that the two right triangles are congruent (HA theorem--hypotenuse/angle).
Then all the corresponding parts of the two triangles are congruent, including segments BA and BC, making them the same length.
4x + 1 = 9x - 4
Solving for x,
1 = 5x - 4
5 = 5x
1 = x
Pluggint x = 1 into the two expressions reveals that the length of segment CB is 5.
The two small angles at D are congruent, so 
.
Might be terribly wrong since it's been a while that I've done fractions, but I got -11/20. Hope this helps!!!

Answer:
1 quart blue + 1 1/2 quart red
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Ratio of blue paint : red paint = 1/3 : 1/2
simplifying this ratio into whole numbers by multiplying both sides by 2 and 3, we get:
(1/3) x (3x2) : (1/2) x (3x2)
2 : 3
From this we can determine the fractions of red and blue paint used in any total purple mix
fraction of blue paint = 2/(2+3) = 2/5 of purple mix
fraction of red paint = 3/(2+3) = 3/5 of purple mix
we are given that we want to make 2 1/2 (= 5/2) quarts of purple paint
hence
amount of blue paint
= fraction of blue paint in purple mix x total amount of purple paint
= (2/5) x (5/2) = 1 quart
amount of red paint
= fraction of redpaint in purple mix x total amount of purple paint
= (3 /5) x (5/2) = 3/2 quart = 1 1/2 quart
