A nurse is making identical first aid bags for patients using 72 antiseptic wipes, 55 adhesive bandages, and 36 packets of ointm

alexandr1967 [171]

<span>To make identical first aid bags and maximize the amount, you first have to take the item that you have the least amount of and make that your base amount of bags with one item per bag. Doing that for the nurse gives 36 bags with 1 packet of ointment per bag and 0 left over. Next, you know that you have 72 antiseptic wipes which is double the amount of ointment, so you would put 2 antiseptic wipes in each bag and have 0 left over. Finally, since 55 bandages is not double 35, you would put one bandage in each bag and have 19 bandages left over. In summary, there would be 36 bags, with each having 2 antiseptic wipes, 1 adhesive bandage, and one packet of ointment. There would be 19 adhesive bandages leftover.</span>

The two quadrilaterals below are similar. What is the length of EF?

damaskus [11]

EF = 15 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

If the quadrilaterals, ABCD and EFGH are similar their side lengths will be of the same ratio throughout.

Comparing the quadrilaterals, we have AB and EF are similar, BC and FG are similar, CD and GH are similar, DA and HE are similar.

So the ratio of all these sides will be equal.

Step 2:

$\frac{AB}{EF} :\frac{BC}{FG} : \frac{CD}{GH} :\frac{DA}{HE} .$

Of these lengths, we only have the values for AB, BC, CD, DA, GH, HE and need to determine the length of EF. By substituting the known values the ratio becomes;

$\frac{5}{EF} :\frac{4}{12} :\frac{6}{18} .$
