Answer:

189 people

Step-by-step explanation:

We can make a proportion to solve

We know that 7 out of 8 people prefer Brand X, and p out of 216 people prefer Brand X, so

7/8=p/216

To solve, we need to get p by itself.

To do this, we must multiply both sides by 216 to "reverse" the division being done to p.

216(7/8)=(p/216)216

189=p

So, out of 216 people, 189 people will prefer Brand X.

Buddy ran the same distance each day for 5 days.
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

A.

One expression you can do is the total amount of distance Buddy runs in a 5 day period, as a function of the amount of miles he runs in a day.

d(x) = y = 5x

d(x) being total amount of miles buddy runs in 5 days. x being the amount of miles he runs in a day.

B.

Now if he ran 10 miles a day, just substitute 10 for x.

d(10) = y = 5(10) = 50

What is the value of x in the figure below? I need help with learning the math also
Archy [21]
E) sqrt(30)

This is a nice problem. It was helpful to read the topic at the top.

Notice that the two right triangles are similar. Their sides are in proportion.

That is the side '3' is what 'x' is in the other triangle (you need to rotate it!)

Then 'x' is similar to '10'

3/x=x/10 ---> x^2=30, x=sqrt(30)

If you are patient, you can check that for sqrt(30) pythagoras theorem works for all the triangles.

Best
