LA=3.5; AY=7
LW=?

LW=LA+AW
AW=?

Let's analyze triangles LAY and YAW
1) Triangle LAY
Angle LAY is 90°
Suppose Angle ALY is x
The angle LYA is the complement of x, for example y:
x+y=90°→y=90°-x

2) Triangle YAW
Angle AYW is the complement of angle LAY (y), then the angle AYW must be equal to x.
Angle YAW is 90°, because the angle LAY is 90°

The triangles LAY and YAW are similars, because they have to congruent angles:
Angle LAY = 90° = Angle YAW
Angle ALY = x = Angle AYW
Then the sides of triangles LAY and YAW must be proportionals:
AW/AY=AY/LA
Replacing the known values:
AW/7=7/3.5
AW/7=2
Solving for AW. Multiplying both sides of the equation by 7:
7(AW/7)=7(2)
AW=14

Now:
LW=LA+AW
LW=3.5+14
LW=17.5

Answer: LW=17.5 units

Paisley has 8\tfrac{1}{4}8 4 1 cups of yogurt to make smoothies. Each smoothie uses \tfrac{11}{16} 16 11 cup of yogurt. How

Ivenika [448]

Given:

Total Yogurt = $8\dfrac{1}{4}$ cups

Yogurt required for each smoothie = $\dfrac{11}{16}$ cup

To find:

The number of smoothies that Paisley can make with the yogurt.

Solution:

We know that,

$\text{Number of smoothies}=\dfrac{\text{Total yogurt}}{\text{Yogurt required for each smoothie}}$

Substituting the given values, we get

$\text{Number of smoothies}=\dfrac{8\dfrac{1}{4}}{\dfrac{11}{16}}$

$\text{Number of smoothies}=8\dfrac{1}{4}\times \dfrac{16}{11}$

$\text{Number of smoothies}=\dfrac{32+1}{4}\times \dfrac{16}{11}$

$\text{Number of smoothies}=\dfrac{33}{4}\times \dfrac{16}{11}$

$\text{Number of smoothies}=3\times 4$

$\text{Number of smoothies}=12$

Therefore, the number of smoothies is 12.

Which equation is satisfied by all of the plotted points?

Black_prince [1.1K]

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option D. The equation that would satisfy all of the points plotted above would be y=-2x. From the plot, we can see that the y-intercept is equal to zero and by using two points we can calculate the slope to be equal to -2. Giving an equation which is y=-2x.

Ivanna has to carry 308 apples from a farm to the market. How many baskets will she need, given that each basket

Arisa [49]

Answer: I would say 9 baskets

Step-by-step explanation: if you divide 308 by 36, it would be 8.55. Logically speaking, you can’t have 8.5 baskets. So 9 it is.
