P r o p o r t i o n s

3:4 = 7

3/198 = 7/x

solve for x using cross multiplying

3/198 = 7/x

198(7) = 3x
1386 = 3x
/3 /3
462 = x

Therefore, there are 462 workers.

Proof:

3/198 = 4/x
198(4) = 3x
792 = 3x
/3 /3
264 = x

264 + 198 = 462.

264 / 4 = 66
198 / 3 = 66
462 / 7 = 66

Please help me out on this question

Mariulka [41]

At x=2, y=4

At x=4, y=16

So the total change in y from x=2 to x=4 is 16-4=12

And since average rate of change = total change in y divided by total change in x within the same period, therefore the answer is 12/2 = 6

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

Quadrilateral LMNO is similar to quadrilateral PQRS. Find the measure of side QR.

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The measure of the side $QR$ is 8.8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since $LMNO \sim PQRS$ , then $SP \propto OL$ , $RS \propto ON$ , $RQ \propto MN$ and $QP \propto LM$ . From figure we have the following relationship:

$k = \frac{OL}{SP} = \frac{ON}{RS} = \frac{MN}{QR} = \frac{ML}{QP}$ (1)

Where $k$ is the proportionality ratio.

If we know that $SP = 13, OL = 55, MN = 37$ , then the measure of side $QR$ is:

$k = \frac{OL}{SP}$ (1b)

$k = \frac{55}{13}$

$k = \frac{MN}{QR}$

$QR = \frac{MN}{k}$ (1c)

$QR = \frac{37}{\frac{55}{13} }$

$QR = 8.745$

The measure of the side $QR$ is 8.8.

Examine the system of equations.

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

<h3><u>Explanation</u></h3>

Given the system of equations.

$y = - \frac{1}{4} x - 2 \\ x = 4$

Substitute x = 4 in the first equation.

$y = - \frac{1}{4} (4) - 2 \\ y = - 1 - 2 \\ y = - 3$

We have both x and y values. Therefore, we can answer in coordinate point form.

<h3><u>Answer</u></h3>

<u> $\large \boxed{(4, - 3)}$ </u>
