C-3/5=4

c-3/5*5=4*5 (We do this to get ride 5 so we can simplify to just 3)

c-3=20
  +3 +3
c=17

A company policy requires that for every 30 employees, there must be 3 supervisors. If there are 267 supervisors at the company,
Alexus [3.1K]

267 supervisors will have 2670 employees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of employees.

Given,

3 supervisors = 30 employees

1 supervisor = \frac{30}{3}

1 supervisor = 10 employees

As one supervisor has 10 employees, 267 supervisors will have;

x = 267*10

x= 2670 employees

267 supervisors will have 2670 employees.

Find the missing value 3/8 = _____ to 72
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to find the factor that coverts 8 to 72. I look as these problems as 3 to x and 8 to 72. To do this, divide 72 by 8, and that's what you'd multiply 3 with.

72/8 = 9

9 x 3 = 27

Drag and drop a statement or reason to each box to complete the proof.
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

1. MN≅QP

  MQ≅NP

2. MP≅MP

3. SSS congruence postulate

4. ∠N≅∠Q

5. CPCTC

Step-by-step explanation:

1. As per the property of parallelogram that opposite sides are congruent, in given case of parallelogram MNPQ the opposite sides

                    MN≅QP  and   MQ≅NP.

2. The reflexive property of congruence states that a line or a geometrical figure is reflection of itself and is congruent to itself. Hence in given case of parallelogram MNPQ

                                         MP≅MP

3. SSS congruence postulate stands for Side-Side-Side congruence postulate, it states that when three adjacent sides of two triangle are congruent then the two triangles are congruent. In given case of parallelogram MNPQ, as the sides MN≅Q, MQ≅NP and MP≅MP hence

                               ΔMQP≅ΔPNM

5. As proven in part 4 that ΔMQP is congruent to ΔPNM, so as per the property of CPCTC (congruent parts of congruent triangles are congruent)

                                 ∠N≅∠Q

5. CPCTC stands for congruent parts of congruent triangles are congruent.
