Answer:

17,725/14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the blank is represented by x.

Since the question asks what is 16.8% of x, we can set up a proportion where 16.8 out of 100 is equivalent to 212.7 out of x. The 100 represents the "whole" number, which corresponds to x. The 212.7 IS the 16.8 of x.

\frac{16.8}{100} =\frac{212.7}{x}

16.8 * x = 212.7 * 100

16.8x = 21,270

x = 21,270 / 16.8

x = 212,700 / 168

x = 17,725 / 14 = 1,266.071429

To check our work, 1,266.071429 * 0.168 = 212.7.

Hope this helps!

What is the value of x in the equation 13 x minus 2 (8 + 5 x) = 12 minus 11 x?
AnnZ [28]

The value of n in given proportion is 16

<u><em>Solution:</em></u>

We have to find the value of "n" in the proportion

<em><u>Given proportion is:</u></em>

<em><u></u></em>\frac{n}{28} = \frac{4}{7}<em><u></u></em>

We can solve the above proportion by cross-multiplying

Multiply the numerator of the left-hand fraction by the denominator of the right-hand fraction

Multiply the numerator of the right-hand fraction by the denominator of the left-hand fraction

Set the two products equal to each other

Solve for the variable

->\frac{n}{28} = \frac{4}{7}

-> 7 *  n = 4 * 28

-> n = \frac{4 * 28}{7}

-> n = 4 * 4 = 16

Thus the value of n in given proportion is 16

Given that tan 0=-4/7 , and 270 degrees &lt;0&lt;360 degrees , what is the exact value of sec0?
Elanso [62]
I take it you meant θ angle, anyway.

we know the tan(θ) = -4/7... alrite, we also know that 270° < θ < 360°, which is another to say that θ is in the IV quadrant, where the adjacent side or "x" value is positive whilst the opposite side or "y" value is negative.

\bf tan(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{opposite}{-4}}{\stackrel{adjacent}{7}}\impliedby \textit{now let's find the \underline{hypotenuse}}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\textit{using the pythagorean theorem}&#10;\\\\&#10;c^2=a^2+b^2\implies c=\sqrt{a^2+b^2}&#10;\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;c=hypotenuse\\&#10;a=adjacent\\&#10;b=opposite\\&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;c=\sqrt{7^2+(-4)^2}\implies \implies c=\sqrt{65}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;sec(\theta )=\cfrac{\stackrel{hypotenuse}{\sqrt{65}}}{\stackrel{adjacent}{7}}
