The base must be perpendicular to the height for area= bh/2.
We can use RS as the base and TU as the height.
6*3/2
18/2
9
Final answer: 9 units^2
<span>the football team has 30 more players than the basketball
team, so the number of players on the football team is x= 30 + y.
Then you have to add on the extra ten players to each team so that the ratio
fits. Now the football team is </span>
<span>10 + 30 + y (or 40 + y) and the basketball team is 10
+ y.
Next you need to divide the ratio by its respective parts since a third of the
football team is equal to half of the basketball team. So you end up with this
equation:
(40 + y)/3 = (10 + y)/2
multiply the three over to the other side to cancel it out. Same with
the two. So, now the equation is:
80 + 2y = 30 + 3y
Subtract the 30 from the 80 and the 2y from the 3y and you have your answer: y
= 50.
Go back up to the top where you found out that x = 30 + y and put the 50 in
place of the y, giving you x = 80</span>
Answer:
18 ounces of barley
Step-by-step explanation:
If Meg uses barley and wheat flour in a ratio of 2:3, we can set up equivalent ratios in order to find how many ounces of barley Meg would need if she uses 27 ounces of wheat flour:
= 
= 
We can solve for 'x' (the number of ounces of barley) using a few different methods. We can cross-multiply and divide: 27(2) = 3x, or x = 18. We can also see what factor we multiply the 3 by to get 27 and multiply the numerator (2) by the same number. Since 3 x 9 = 27, then 2 x 9 = 18.
