Answer:

x=28

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use similar triangles and proportions to solve this problem.  Put the side of the small triangle over the same side of the larger triangle.

x               42

---------- = ----------

x+10           42+15

Simplify

x               42

---------- = ----------

x+10           57

Using cross products

57x = 42 (x+10)

Distribute

57x = 42x+420

Subtract 42x from each side

57x-42x = 42x-42x +420

15x = 420

Divide each side by 15

15x/15 = 420/15

x=28

Answer: The value of x is 28 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

DC ║ PA

So, By Basic Proportionate theorem, if a line drawn parallel to the third side and intersect the other two sides, then the other two sides are divided into same ratio.

So, it becomes,

\frac{RC}{CA}=\frac{RD}{DP}\\\\\frac{x}{10}=\frac{42}{15}\\\\15\times x=10\times 42\\\\x=\frac{420}{15}=28\\\\x=28

Hence, the value of x is 28 units.

Answer:

  more than half are being used

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps easiest to understand is the most straightforward: figure the total number of seats and the number of seats being used. Check to see if that is more than half.

The 1 first-class carriage has usage of ...

  (3/8)(64 seats) = 24 seats.

The 6 standard carriages have usage of ...

  (7/13)(6 · 78 seats) = 252 seats.

The total number of seats used is ...

  24 + 252 = 276 . . . . seats used

__

The total number of seats on the train is ...

  1·64 +6·78 = 532 . . . . seats on the train

Half of the seats on the train will be ...

  532/2 = 266 seats . . . . half the seats

The 276 used seats are more than half of the total number. More than half the seats are being used.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

Another way to look at this is to compare utilization to 1/2 in each carriage class.

  In first class 1/2 -3/8 = 1/8 of 64 seats = 8 seats fewer than 1/2 the seats are being used.

  In standard class, 7/13 -1/2 = 14/26 -13/26 = 1/26 of 78 seats = 3 seats more than 1/2 the seats are being used. There are 6 standard class carriages, so 6·3 = 18 more than half the seats in the standard-class carriages are being used.

This number is 10 more than the 8 under-utilized seats in first class, so <em>more than half the train seats are being used</em>.

Both Andrew and Karleigh recorded the distance they ran in x minutes on treadmills. Andrew A 2-column table with 2 rows. Column
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

ex:Speed (S) is the ratio of the distance (D) covered to the time (t) taken.

That is, S = D/t

Suppose Andrew ran a distance D1 in 1 hour (3600 seconds) at a Speed, say S1, we have

S1 = D1/t

We can then say he ran a distance

D1 = t × S1

= 3600S1

Similarly, let's say Karleigh ran a distance

D2 = t × S2

= 3600S2

Let us compare these two, you will notice that the bigger number between S1 and S2 is going to determine the bigger number between D1 and D2.

Let's choose random numbers for S1 and S2 for clarity, say S1 = 5, S2 = 10

D1 = 3600 × 5

= 18000

D2 = 3600 × 10

= 36000

This makes D2 bigger than D1. this is an example i found on the internet.

Step-by-

hope this helps, good luck
