Answer:

Here, at least ABC and DEF are similar

Then

D = A = 87

=> 5x+2 =87

=> 5x =85

=> x =17

C = F = 180-D-E = 180-42-87=51

=> 3y = 51

=> y = 17

Answer:

y = 17

x = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

triangle ABC and DEF are similar and will therefore have the same angles.

the sum of all the angles on ANY triangle will ALWAYS add up to 180°

To work out what y equals, we must first find out what ∠B equals.

∠B corresponds with ∠E therefore, we know that ∠B = 42°

As we already have ∠A, we can now calculate ∠C.

180 - 42 - 87 = 51

∴∠C = 51°

to calculate y:

3y = 51

divide both sides by 3. the 3 on the left gets cancelled out and 51 becomes 17

y = 17

to work out what x equals, we know that ∠E = 42° and that ∠F = 51°

180 - 42 - 51 = 87

∠D = 87°

to calculate x:

5x + 2 = 87

subtract 2 from both sides

5x = 85

divide both sides by 5

x = 17

I hope this helps :-)

Ber [7]

Answer:

I believe the answer is 7/20 or 35%.

Step-by-step explanation:

I first started by subtracting the coins that we already know from the total, and I get 7. I put that in fraction form which is, 7/20 and I turned it into percent form which is 35%. I hope one of these answers helps.

6th grade fractions...
blsea [12.9K]

The last pair of numbers bracket the point 3/7.

12/32 = 3/8 < 3/7

15/18 = 5/6 > 3/7

_____

3/7 ≈ 0.428571... (repeating), so will be larger than 3/8 = 0.375, 12/32 = 3/8, and 4/10. That is, 3/7 is larger than the largest number of each pair except the last.

------

You can always compare two fractions to see which is larger by cross-multiplying. That is a/b vs c/d gives the same result as ad vs bc. (Put the product on the numerator side of the comparison.)

Here, that would mean comparing 12/32 vs 3/7, we would get 12·7 vs 3·32, or 84 vs 96. The fraction on the left is smaller.

Comparing 3/7 vs 15/18, we would get 3·18 vs 7·15, or 54 vs 105. The fraction on the right is larger.
