In trapezoid $ABCD$, $\overline{AB}$ is parallel to $\overline{CD}$, $AB = 7$ units, and $CD = 10$ units. Segment $EF$ is drawn

parallel to $\overline{AB}$ with $E$ lying on $\overline{AD}$ and $F$ lying on $\overline{BC}$. If $BF:FC = 3:4$, what is $EF$? Express your answer as a common fraction.

Answer:

EF = 58/7

Step-by-step explanation:

If you extend both BC and AD to meet at P you get 3 similar triangles PAB, PEF, and PCD. Let's call BF = 3x and FC = 4x. Therefore the following proportions can be expressed:

BP/7 = (BP+7x)/10

10BP = 7*(BP+7x)

10BP = 7BP+49x

3BP = 49x

BP = (49/3)x

BP/7 = (BP+3x)/EF

EF = (BP+3x)*7/BP

EF = ((49/3)x + 3x)*7/((49/3)x)

EF = ((58/3)x*7*3)/(49x)

EF = 58/7

A store has a 20% sale on everything. An item originally cost 350 AED. What is the sale price? Show your work of how you calcula
slega [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A store has a 20% sale on everything.

So since you are saving 20%, you will only be paying 80% of the original price.

To find the sale price use the following formula:

Sale price = 80% x original price

They told us the original price = 350 AED

This means:

Sale price = 80% x 350

I think it would be easiest to change 80% into a fraction if you don't have a calculator :)

80% = \frac{80}{100}  = \frac{4}{5}

This means that the

Sale Price= \frac{4}{5} x 350 = 280 AED

The table shows the number of cups of water required when cooking different amounts of rice.
Harman [31]

<u>Answer-</u>

<em>The amount of water is the dependent value.</em>

<u>Solution-</u>

Plotting the graph from the given data points, it comes out to be a straight line with positive slope. So, both the variables i.e amount of rice and amount of water are in a linear relationship. They are directly proportional to each other.

As the amount of rice increases, the water needed to cook the rice also increases. Plotting a graph taking amount of rice in abscissa and amount of water in ordinate, a straight line was obtained.

Here, amount of rice is the independent variable and amount of water is dependent variable as it depends on the amount of rice.
