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

Not only would I like the value of x, but also I wonder how I’d go about solving this problem?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

x = 58

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by using the exterior angle property, which states that the exterior angle of a triangle = the sum of the two opposite interior angles.

62 lies on a line, so the exterior angle is 180 - 62, or 118 degrees.

Using the EAP, we can conclude the following:

(x + 2) + (x) = 118

2x + 2 = 118

2x = 116

x = 58

Hope this helps

John says that 0.5y for y=1.4 is 0.7<br> Is he correct? Explain.<br> 17 points
Alona [7]
John is correct because 0.5 is equal to one half and multiplying something by its half is just same as dividing something in two and half of 1.4 is 0.5
