Answer:

The ratio of white:milk:dark is  9:8:4

Explantion:

Let w represent white chocolate , m represent milk chocolate and  d represent dark chocolate

The ratio of white to not white is 3:4

Here not white means , it can be milk or dark chocolate

Then

w : (m+d) = 3:4 -----------------------------(1)

The ratio of not dark to dark is 17:4.

Again not dark means , it will be white or milk chocolate

Then,

(w+m) : d = 17:4  -----------------------------(2)

Representing (1) in fractions

\frac{w}{m+d} =\frac{3}{4}

4w = 3(m+d)

4w = 3m +3d

4w -3m =3d------------------------------(3)

 Representing (2) in fractions

\frac{(w+m)}{d}= \frac{17}{4}

4(w+m) = 17d

4w +4m = 17d---------------------------(4)

Subtracting (3) from (4)

4w +4m = 17d

4w -3m = 3d

(-)

-------------------------------

7m = 14d

-------------------------------

\frac{m}{d} = \frac{14}{7}

\frac{m}{d} = \frac{2}{1}

m:d = 2:1

Since w:(m+d)=3:4 let's make m:d a multiple of 4.

m:d = 8:4

w : (m+d) = 3:4 = 9:12

w:m:d = 9:8:4

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
The answer would be 4 1/2

Step 1. Multiply 3/4 by 6/1 to get = 18/4
Step 2. Simplify 18/4 to get 4 1/2
—————————————————————————
How to simplify:

Ex: 18/4

See how many times 4 can go into 18.

「divide 4 and 18」

TIP: Always add a 1 under a single number like 3/4x6 change the 6 to: 6/1

Solve for x please!!!!
AleksAgata [21]

11) Since the triangle has a pair of congruent base angles, it is an isosceles triangle which means that the two pairs of legs are congruent.

Make them equal to each other in an equation.

5x = x + 20

Subtract x from both sides.

4x = 20

Divide both sides by 4.

x = 5

12) The two legs are congruent so that means the base angles must be congruent. First find the measure of the base angles. Create an equation:

x + x + 50 = 180

Combine like terms.

2x + 50 = 180

Subtract 50 from both sides.

2x = 130

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 65

Now make the base angle plus x equal 180, because they form a straight line.

65 + x = 180

Subtract 65 from both sides.

x = 115

13) You know the vertex angle (top angle) is 90 degrees because it is supplementary to a right angle. The triangle is isosceles because the two legs are congruent, so make the base angles plus 90 add up to 180 in an equation.

x + x + 90 = 180

Combine like terms.

2x + 90 = 180

Subtract 90 from both sides.

2x = 90

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 45
