Answer:
I am pretty sure you can set up a proportion.
12 games is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
8 X
_ * __
30 45
8*45=30x
360=30x
x=12
To find the average number of customers for dinner, use the simple ratio of 5 lunch customers for every 8 dinner customers.
Because there are 40 lunch customers, this is eight groups of five lunch customers. This means you will need 8 groups of 8 dinner customers to make it equivalent.
8 x 8 = 64
There is an average of 64 customers for dinner.
Answer:
6x + 2 ( x - 4) = 8 + 4 ( x + 2)
6x + 2x - 8 = 8 + 4x + 8
<em><u>Arranging</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>like</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>terms</u></em><em><u> </u></em>
6x + 2x - 4x = 8 +8 - 8
8x - 4x = 8
4x = 8
x = 8/4
x = 2
Since they are similar, you need to find the ratio of similarity (I made up the term, there is probably a correct one that I can’t remember).
If you divide 16/40, you’ll find that that ratio is 2.5. So then you just multiply 16 x 2.5. You’ll get 18.
18 is the length of the top of the trapezoid.
You set 18=2x+4 and solve it algebraically. Subtract 4 from both sides.
14=2x
Divide by 2 and x=7
(You can also check that the ratio is right by 16/18 is the same decimal value as 40/45. You’ll get .88888...)
