Answer: $\frac{1}{3}$ proportion of candies are green.

Solution:

In bag A, $\frac{2}{3}$ candies are yellow.

$\frac{2}{3}$ this proportion shows ratio of favorable over total candies.

Here numerator number is 2.

So, Total number of yellow candies should be 2x

Total number of candies in Bag A would be 3x

Number of green candies in bag A = 3x-2x = x

Now we find the portion of green candies in bag A

$\therefore,$ $\frac{x}{3x}$

$\frac{1}{3}$ portion of candies are green in bag A

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Calling it blocks is a little weird. but a good way to do it is to move left or right until you are over or below where you want to go then move up or down accordingly. Each move, left, right up or down will count as one block.

So from the fire station you go 1 to the right and then 6 down, for a total of 7. then from the library it's 3 right then 4 up, which is 7 again. 7 to the first stop then 7 to the second makes 14 total.

If there's something you don't get let me know.

In triangle abc, the perimeter is 36, and ab=ac. line ad is perpendicular to bc at the point d, and triangle abd's perimeter is

Musya8 [376]

Let x=ab=ac, and y=bc, and z=ad.

Since the perimeter of the triangle abc is 36, you have:

Perimeter of abc = 36
ab + ac + bc = 36
x + x + y = 36
(eq. 1) 2x + y = 36

The triangle is isosceles (it has two sides with equal length: ab and ac). The line perpendicular to the third side (bc) from the opposite vertex (a), divides that third side into two equal halves: the point d is the middle point of bc. This is a property of isosceles triangles, which is easily shown by similarity.

Hence, we have that bd = dc = bc/2 = y/2 (remember we called bc = y).

The perimeter of the triangle abd is 30:

Permiter of abd = 30
ab + bd + ad = 30
x + y/2 + z =30
(eq. 2) 2x + y + 2z = 60

So, we have two equations on x, y and z:

(eq.1) 2x + y = 36
(eq.2) 2x + y + 2z = 60

Substitute 2x + y by 36 from (eq.1) in (eq.2):

(eq.2') 36 + 2z = 60

And solve for z:

36 + 2z = 60 => 2z = 60 - 36 => 2z = 24 => z = 12

The measure of ad is 12.

If you prefer a less algebraic reasoning:

- The perimeter of abd is half the perimeter of abc plus the length of ad (since you have "cut" the triangle abc in two halves to obtain the triangle abd).

- Then, ad is the difference between the perimeter of abd and half the perimeter of abc:

ad = 30 - (36/2) = 30 - 18 = 12
