Answer:

6

Step-by-step explanation:

A painter mixes 2 1/2 pints (2.5 pints) of yellow paint with 4 pints of red paint to make a certain shade of orange paint. The ratio of yellow paint to red paint is 2.5:4. In order to find the pints of yellow paint needed to be mixed with 10 pints of red paint, we will use conversion fractions.

10 red pints × (2.5 yellow pints/ 4 red pints) ≈ 6 pints (we round off to 1 significant figure)

For every 4 pints of red, there are 2 1/12 pints of yellow. 8 of those red pints would make 5 yellow pints. Adding 2 more pints of red to get to the 10 would mean you have to half the 2 1/2, which would be 1 1/2. So, you would need 6 1/2 pints of yellow mixed with the 10 red pints to make the shade of orange. :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

AD ≅ BC and AD || BC

To Prove:

ABCD is a Parallelogram

Proof:

Alternate Interior Angles Theorem :

"When two parallel lines are cut by a transversal , the resulting alternate interior angles are congruent.

Here AD || BC and the transversal is AC

  Statement               Reasons

1. AD ≅ BC  .           1. Given

2. AD || BC              2. Given

3.∠DAC ≅ ∠BCA    3. Alternate interior Angles are Equal as AD || BC.

Therefore the correct assembling is

3.∠DAC ≅ ∠BCA    3. Alternate interior Angles are Equal as AD || BC.

Natasha2012 [34]
Money spent + money left over = total money

money spent + 9 = 30

We don't know the price of each shirt, so let x = price of 1 shirt.
Then, 3 shirts cost 3 times as much as x, or 3x.
She spent 3x.

3x + 9 = 30
