Miles bought a 10 ounce bag of chips. He wants to know if it's really 10 ounces, so he uses a scale and makes four measurements.

Which measurement is the most accurate of the four recorded?

I would say that the last one would be the most accurate.

In the figure, lines l, m, and n are parallel. A classmate says you can use the corollary to the side-splitter theorem to find x

bulgar [2K]

The issue with using the side-splitter to solve for x is that the side-splitter theorem is used to find lengths of the sides being split by parallel lines. In this case, the x is on a line that is parallel and thus could not be solved for using this theorem.

If we created a triangle where the tops of the non-parallel lines connected, we would be able to compare the following and solve:

$\frac{M1}{M2} = \frac{N1}{N2}$

However, none of this would help us solve for x using this theorem.

28% of what number is 63

Scrat [10]

We set up a proportion: 63/?= 28/100

Cross multiply: 28*?= 63*100
⇒ ?= 63*100/28= 225

28% of 225 is 63.

It makes the addition easier if you combine like terms like the two 1/2s and then make them all have the denominator of 12 (changing the numerators to equal it out)
