Answer:

Cross Multiply.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the denominator (3) of one side and the numerator (n).

Then, multiply the numerator (2) of on side and the denominator (4) of the other.

3n = 8

You divide both sides by 3 to have n be by itself, equaling ~2.6 or 8/3.

HELPPPPP! Points scored in a basketball game vary directly with shots taken. If a player scores 50 points , and takes 40 shots ,

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Points scored in a basketball game vary directly with shots taken.

This means that this question can be solved

by proportions, using a rule of three.

How many would she have scored if she takes 60 shots?

Using a rule of three:

50 points - 40 shots

x points - 60 shots

Applying cross multiplication:

4x = 50 × 60

Divide from both sides

x = 50 × 1.25 = 75

Answer is 75

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is a easier explanation if you didn't understand clearly:

It asked for how many 60 shots would score.

You would look at the first time he scored which is 50 and took 40 shots. Divide them

50 ÷ 40 = 1.25 or 1.5

So now you know each point scores 1.25 or 1.5

Now you multiply 1.25 or 1.5 with how many shots to see how much was scored and in this case 60 shots.

60 × 1.25 or 60 × 1.5

& They both end up equaling just the same, 75.

Hope it made sense :)

Explain why the two figures below are similar. Use complete sentences and provide evidence to support your explanation. (10 poin

alekssr [168]

Answer:

<em>The two figures are similar as the ratio of corresponding distances and slope of corresponding lines are EQUAL.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Noting the coordinates of points,

C(-1,6), D(3,4) , E(2,3) , F(3,0), G(1,-2) , A(0,1) , B(-2,2)

J(4.5,3.5), K(6.5,2.5), L(6,2), M(6.5,0.5) , N(5.5,-0.5) , H(5,1) , I(4,1.5)

using the distance formula = $\sqrt{(x-x1)^{2} + (y-y1)^{2} }$

we find that,

CD= $\sqrt{20}$ and JK= $\sqrt{5}$

thus, ratio of CD to JK is 2.

Similarly find ratio of DE to KL and so on, the ratio remains same.

Further one can even comment on the slopes of corresponding lines been equal.

Thus the figures turn out to be similiar to each other
