Answer:

The number of packages of flour tortillas is a 9 multiple.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given there are only packages of flour tortillas and packages of corn tortillas on the shelf.

Let the number of flour tortillas be x and the number of corn tortillas be y

therefore the total number of packages are x+y.

Given the ratio of the number of packages of corn tortillas to the total number of packages on the shelf was 7 to 16.

which means \frac{y}{x+y} = \frac{7}{16}

16y = 7x+7y

7x=9y

x=\frac{9y}{7}

since both x and y are integers y is in the form of 7k where k∈N.

x=9k

Therefore x is a 9 multiple.

What does the measure of B Equal?

You have two triangles, ADC and ABC.
Sides AD and AB are congruent.
Sides DC and BC are congruent.
Side AC is congruent to itself.
By SSS, triangles ADC and ABC are congruent.

Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.
That means that angles DAC and BAC are congruent.
Angles DCA and BCA are congruent.

Since m<DAC = 32, then m<BAC = 32
Since m<DCA = 41, then m<BCA = 41.

Now you know the measures of two angles of triangle ABC.
The measures of the interior angles of a triangle add to 180.
You can find the measure of angle B.

m<BAC + m<B + m<BCA = 180

32 + m<B + 41 = 180

m<B + 73 = 180

m<B = 107

In a school of 330 students, 85 of them are in a drama club, 200 of them are in a sports team and 60 of them do both
Neko [114]

Answer:

105/330 = 21/66 = 7/22

7/22 is the answer I think

Step-by-step explanation:

n(U) = 330

n(A) = 85

n(B) = 200

n(A n B) = 60

Now,

n(A U B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A n B)

or, n(A U B) = 85 + 200 - 60

or, n(A U B) = 285 - 60 = 225

Now,

n(A U B) compliment = n(U) - n(A U B)

n(A U B) compliment = 330 - 225

so, n(A U B) compliment = 105

Now,

probability = 105/330

Find the measure of a.
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

50 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that an inscribed angle in a circle is 1/2 the arc that it inscribes. So, therefore the arc is inscribed by the 25 degrees is 50. Assuming that the center of the circle is O, the center angle will be the arc measure. Knowing this, angle a is 50 degrees. If you're curious about all these theorems, they can be proved using similar triangles.

fyi, using the same logic, angle b is 25 degrees
