100        300

to solve :
21 x 300 = 6300
6300 ÷ 100 = 63

Answer = 63 of Elmer’s shells are fossilized snail shells :)

If a varies directly as b, and a = 28 when b = 7, find b when a = 5.
Reika [66]

Answer: Option B.

b=\frac{5}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

If a varies directly with b then when a increases b it also increases by a factor k.

Then we can write that

a = kb

We know that when a = 28 then b = 7. So

28 = k * 7

k=\frac{28}{7}

k=4

Therefore the equation of proportionality is:

a=4b

So when a=5  then:

5=4b\\\\b=\frac{5}{4}

The walls are vertical so the angle opposite X would be a right angle which is 90 degrees.

X would be 180 - 90 - 35 = 55 degrees

X and 2y - 5 are complementary angles which add together to equal 90:

2y - 5 + 55 = 90

Simplify:

2y +50 = 90

Subtract 50 from both sides:

2y = 40

Divide both sides by 2:

y = 20
