Hello! To solve this question, we can write and solve a proportion. Because we are looking for the whole, which is the total amount of visitors on a Saturday, set the proportion up like this: 144/x = 60/100. This is because we are looking for the total amount of visitors, and we know that 144 is 60% of x number of visitors. Cross multiply the values in order to get 14,400 = 60x. Now, divide each side by 60 to isolate the "x". 14,400/60 is 240. x = 240. The art museum had 240 visitors that Saturday.

One strategy is to use ratios.

60% : 100% = 144 students : 240 total visitors

SCALE FACTOR: Divide 144 students by 60 percent which gives you 2.4 
Use the scale factor to multiply the missing term by the term that is matching with it.
So in this case 100% x 2.4 

ANSWER: 240 TOTAL VISITORS

I can’t figure out, can someone please explain how to get the correct answer?

Answer:

  a)  CD = 9

  b)  AB = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3>a)</h3>

In this geometry, all of the right triangles are similar. This means The ratio of short side to long side is the same for all of the triangles.

You are given the short and long sides of ΔADB, and the long side of ΔCDA. You are asked for the short side of ΔCDA, so you can write the proportion ...

  CD/AD = AD/BD

  CD/12 = 12/16

  CD = 12(12/16)

  CD = 9

__

<h3>b)</h3>

There are a couple of options for finding AD. One you may be familiar with is the Pythagorean theorem.

  AB² = AD² +DB²

  AB² = 12² +16² = 144 +256 = 400 . . . . fill in known values

  AB = √400 = 20 . . . . . take the square root

__

Alternatively, you can use the same proportional relationship that is described above. Here, we make use of the ratio of the hypotenuse to the long side.

  AB/BD = CB/AB

  AB² = BD·CB = 16·(16+9) = 16·25 . . . . cross multiply; fill in known values

  AB = √(16·25) = 4·5 . . . . . take the square root

  AB = 20

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

This geometry, where the altitude of a right triangle is drawn, has some interesting properties. We have hinted at them above.

You can write three sets of proportions for this geometry: the ratios of short side and long side; the ratios of short side and hypotenuse; and the ratios of long side and hypotenuse. When you look at the way the sides touching the longest hypotenuse relate to that hypotenuse, you see three similar relations:

  AC = √(CD·CB)

  AD = √(DC·DB)

  AB = √(BD·BC) . . . . . . . . the relation used in part (b) above

This "square root of a product" is called the <em>geometric mean</em>. In effect, the length of a side touching the longest hypotenuse is the geometric mean of the two segments of that hypotenuse that it touches.

Answer:

<h2>12 4/8</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First step

ADD

7+4=11

7+5=12

so

11\frac{12}{8}

2. Second step

Now simplify

11 12/8 = 12 4/8 = 12 1/2
