Answer:
1. x = 67.5
2. x = 2.5
3. x = 35.2
4. x = 2.0
5. x = 17.0
Step-by-step explanation:
Question 1
The proportion is set up in the form x/9 = 15/2. Multiply both sides by two to get rid of the two in the denominator on the right side. After doing so, multiply by 9 on both sides to get rid of the 9 in the denominator on the left:
2x/9 = 15
2x = 9(15)
Next solve for x:
2x = 135
x = 67.5
Question 2
The proportion is set up in the form 20/8.7 = 5.8/x. Multiply both sides by the second denominator, x, and then both sides by the first, 8.7. This will leave you with the work below:
20x/8.7 = 5.8
20x = 8.7(5.8)
Next, solve for x:
20x = 50.46
x = 2.523
Round to the nearest tenth:
x = 2.5
Question 3
The proportion is set up in the form 5/16 = 11/x. Multiply both sides by the second denominator, x, and then both sides by the first, 16. This will leave you with the work below:
5x/16 = 11
5x = 11(16)
Next, solve for x:
5x = 176
x = 35.2
Question 4
The proportion is set up in the form x/0.06 = 17/0.5. Multiply both sides by the second denominator, 0.5, and then both sides by the first, 0.06. This will leave you with the work below:
0.5x/0.06 = 17
0.5x = 17(0.06)
Next, solve for x:
0.5x = 1.02
x = 2.04
Round to the nearest tenth:
x = 2.0
Question 5
The proportion is set up in the form 29/x = 75/44. Multiply both sides by the second denominator, 44, and then both sides by the first, x. This will leave you with the work below:
29(44)/x = 75
29(44) = 75x
Next, solve for x:
1276 = 75x
x = 17.0133
Round to the nearest tenth:
x = 17.0
Answer:
1) 8= (5xW)+(3xW) (she worked 8 hours total over spread of two days)
2) 8=8xW (he worked 8 hours total over one day)
3) Yes, they worked the same number of hours, they just worked for an different amount of hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
I kind of explained it in the answer, but if you'd like a clarification.
Answer: 10
Step-by-step explanation:
In a right angle triangle
Hypothenus ^2= opposite ^2+ adjacent ^2
According to a diagram below
Hypothenus =15
Opposite =?
Adjacent =11
Substitute for the values
15^2=11^2+opp^2
Opp^2=15^2-11^2
0pp^2= 225-121
Opp2=104
Opp= square root of 104
Opp= 10.2
Opp= ~10
Well, they're saying 9 with an exponet of 2 multiplied by something equals 27..... Hmmm.....
