So, The Crayola Crayon company can make 2400 crayons in 4 minutes. In other words, every 4 minutes they can make 2400 crayons, right? So, in 15 minutes how many would they have made? Well, what we do is we divide 15 by 4 which is 3.75. Then we multiply the result, 3.75, by 2400. 3.75 * 9000. So, in 15 minutes, Crayola  would have made 900 crayons!

4/2400 = 15/x

Step 1: Cross Multiply

4/2400 = 15/x

4 * x = (15) * (2400)

4x = 36000

Step 2: Divide both sides by 2

4x/4 = 36000/2

x = 9000

The answer is, 9000!!! :D

The coordinates of triangle FGH are F(2, 4), G(5, −9) and H(−3, −4). Which statement proves that triangle FGH is a right triangl
Kipish [7]
A right triangle has the two legs that form an angle of 90°, which means that the two legs are perpendicular.

In order to prove that FGH is a right triangle, you need to calculate the slopes of the lines passing through its vertexes and see if there is a pair of opposite reciprocals:

m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

m(FG) = (-9 - 4) / (5 - 2) = -13/3
m(FH) = (-4 - 4) / (-3 - 2) = 8/5
m(HG) = (-4 -(-9)) / (-3 - 5) = -5/8

Since m(FH) and <span>m(HG) are opposite reciprocals, FH is perpendicuar to HG and FGH is a right triangle.</span>
