Answer:800

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a percentage, convert to decimal and put it over 100. (69/100)

Then we perform "cross multiplication" where we try to find our b if (a/b = c/d [and our c/d is our percentage*]).

So ([552]/b)= (69/[100])

We obtain (ad/b) = c, which is (55200/b)=69.

We then divide ad by our c, (55200/69=800), our b=800.

Therefore, 552 is 69% of 800.

x is 7.5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Ben, Tim, and Sam have to do a certain job

Ben can finish the job in 5 hours
Tim can finish the job in 6 hours
Sam can finish the job in x hours
The three of them can finish the job in 2 hours if they work together

We need to find x

∵ Ben can finish the job in 5 hours

∴ The rate of Ben = $\frac{1}{5}$

∵ Tim can finish the job in 6 hours

∴ The rate of Tim = $\frac{1}{6}$

∵ Sam can finish the job in x hours

∴ The rate of Sam = $\frac{1}{x}$

They will working together to finish the job in two hours, that means the sum of their rate is equal to 1/2

∵ They can finish the job in 2 hours if they work together

∴ $\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{6}+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{2}$

To add the fractions find the LCM for all denominators to make all fractions with same denominators

∵ The LCM of 5, 6 ans x is (5 × 6 × x) = 30 x,

- Divide it by each denominator to find the new numerators

∵ 30 x ÷ 5 = 6 x , 30 x ÷ 6 = 5 x , 30 x ÷ x = 30

- Change all the denominators to 30 x and then write the new

numerators of each fraction

∴ $\frac{6x}{30x}+\frac{5x}{30x}+\frac{30}{30x}=\frac{1}{2}$

Add the numerators and put the sum over 30 x

∵ $\frac{11x+30}{30x}=\frac{1}{2}$

- By using cross multiplication

∴ 2(11 x + 30) = 1(30 x)

- Simplify the both sides

∴ 22 x + 60 = 30 x

- Subtract 22 x from both sides

∴ 60 = 8 x

- Divide both sides by 8

∴ 7.5 = x

∴ The value of x is 7.5 hours

x is 7.5 hours

disa [49]

Answer:

The first blank: not equal

The 2nd blank: not right triangle (it's acute triangle)

The 3rd blank: equal

The 4th blank: it's right triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

4^2 = 3^2 + 3^2

<=> 16 = 9 + 9

<=> 16 = 18 ( nonsense)

so triangle LKJ is not right triangle

5^2 = 4^2 + 3^2

<=> 25 = 16 + 9

<=> 25 = 25 ( make sense)

so triangle ABC is right triangle

Done!! :))
