Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

2 2/7 : (0.6x) :: 4/21 : 0.25

Hence, as it is in a perfect proportion, we may use the proportion method..

We multiply the extreme terms and the moderate(near) ones and equalise them.

Hence,

(2 2/7)×(0.25) = (0.6x × 4/21)

16/7 × 25/100 = 6x/10 × 4/21

16/7× 1/4= 3x/5 × 4/21

(16/7 × 1/4)/(4/21) =3x/5

16/7×1/4×21/4×5/3=x

1/7×21×5/3=x

x=5

What must be done to the wires used to make an electromagnet before they connect

CaHeK987 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

To create a simple electromagnet, you'll need a source of electricity, a conductor, and metal. Wrap insulated copper wire tightly around an iron screw or nail before connecting the wire to a battery, and watch as your new electromagnet picks up small metal objects.

A rectangle has its vertices at (-4, -3), (-4,7), (1,7), (1, -3). What part, in percent, of the rectangle is located in Quadrant

Rasek [7]

Consider the attached figure. The whole rectangle is ABCD, while AEGF is the part located in the third quadrant. In fact, this quadrant is composed by all the points with both coordinates negative.

To answer the question, let's compute the area of the two rectangles and see what part of ABCD is AEGF.

A and B have the same x coordinate, so the length of AB is given by the absolute difference of their y coordinates:

$\overline{AB} = |A_y-B_y| = |-3-7| = |-10| = 10$

Similarly, but exchanging the role of x and y, we compute the length of BC:

$\overline{BC} = |B_x-C_x| = |-4-1| = |-5| = 5$

So, the area of the rectangle is $\overline{AB} \cdot \overline{BC} = 10\cdot 5 = 50$

The same procedure allows us to compute width and height of the sub-rectangle in the third quadrant:

$\overline{AE} = |A_y-E_y| = |-3-0| = |-3| = 3$

$\overline{EG} = |E_x-G_x| = |-4-0| = |-4| = 4$

So, the area of the portion located in the third quadrant is $\overline{AE} \cdot \overline{EG} = 3\cdot 4 = 12$

This means that the ratio between the two area is

$\cfrac{\text{area }AEGF}{\text{area }ABCD} = \cfrac{12}{50}$

If we want this ratio to be a percentage, just make sure that the denominator is 100:

$\cfrac{12}{50} = \cfrac{12}{50}\cdot \cfrac{2}{2} = \cfrac{24}{100} = 24\%$
