Our town is composed of 2,000 people. Of those 2,000 people, 4/5 of them are middle class. The word 'of' usually means multiplication when it is in a word problem. So, we will multiply 2,000 by 4/5. When multiplying a whole number, we just multiply it by the numerator (top) and leave the denominator. (bottom)

2,000×4

8,000

8,000/5

Fractions are just a different way of putting division, so we can change this to a division problem:

8,000÷5=

1,600

1,600 of the people are middle class.

I hope this was helpful, keep learning! :D

5. The measure of an intercepted arc is 86, and the measure of the inscribed angle creating the intercepted arc is 3x +

Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Th correct option is D. 13

Therefore the value of x is 13.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

measure of an intercepted arc = 86°

Center Angle = 86°

measure of the inscribed angle creating the intercepted arc= (3x+4)°

Angle Inscribed in arc = (3x+4)°

To Find:

value of x = ?

Solution:

Inscribed Angle Theorem:

The inscribed angle theorem states that an angle θ inscribed in a circle is half of the central angle 2θ that subtends the same arc on the circle.

$\textrm{Angle Inscribed in arc}=\dfrac{1}{2}\textrm{Center Angle}$

Substituting the values we get

$3x+4=\dfrac{1}{2}86=43\\\\3x=39\\\\x=\dfrac{39}{3}=13\\\\x=13$

Therefore the value of x is 13.
