Answer:
r = 1/9
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, solve the equation for r:
y = rx
y/x = r . . . . . . . divide by x
__
Since r is a constant, it will be the same for any corresponding pairs of x and y. It is convenient to choose both x and y as integers, as in the third table entry.
r = y/x = 5/45
r = 1/9 . . . . . . . . . reduced fraction
_____
<em>Additional comment</em>
It is not a bad idea to check to see that this works with other values of x and y. For the first line of the table, we have x = 11:
y = rx = (1/9)(11) = 11/9 = 1 2/9 . . . . matches the table value
The area <em>A</em> of a trapezoid with height <em>h</em> and bases <em>b</em>₁ and <em>b</em>₂ is equal to the average of the bases times the height:
<em>A</em> = (<em>b</em>₁ + <em>b</em>₂) <em>h</em> / 2
We're given <em>A</em> = 864, <em>h</em> = 24, and one of the bases has length 30, so
864 = (<em>b</em>₁ + 30) 24 / 2
864 = (<em>b</em>₁ + 30) 12
864 = (<em>b</em>₁ + 30) 12
72 = <em>b</em>₁ + 30
<em>b</em>₁ = 42
Answer:
each student will receive 14 pieces of candy and that leaves 6 pieces for himself.
14*21=294
294+6=300
Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
$68 per day and you want it to be >400
68x>400 -divide by 68 on both sides
is about 5.88 -round up to six because it wants a whole number and it needs to be greater then 400
Answer: 19 cm
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
99 = 
99 = 
198 = (2x + 13)(x - 4)
198 = 2x² + 5x - 52
0 = 2x² + 5x - 250
0 = 2x²- 20x + 25x - 250
0 = 2x(x - 10) + 25( x - 10)
0 = (2x + 25)(x - 10)
0 = 2x + 25 or 0 = x - 10
= x or x = 10
Since length cannot be negative, can be disregarded
Larger base: x + 9 = 10 + 9 = 19
