At a banquet, the ratio of hot drinks to cold drinks was 5 to 3. A total of 400 drinks were served. How many were hot?

1 answer:

8 0

Since the ratio is a part to part ratio (5 to 3) just change it to a part to whole ratio, 5 hot drinks to 8 drinks total to make things easier first. Than divide 400 by 8 to see the scale factor which is 50. Finally multiply 5 times 50 to find out how much hot drinks there was total which is 250.
Ever seen this before:
5 hot drinks : 8 total drinks
x50 = x50 =
250 hot drinks : 400 total drinks

$m\angle 1 =105^\circ\\m\angle 2 =75^\circ$

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram is drawn and attached below.

From the diagram

$m\angle 2 =75^\circ $ (Alternate Angles)$

$m\angle 1+ m\angle 2 =180^\circ $ (Sum of angles on a straight line)\\m\angle 1+75^\circ =180^\circ\\m\angle 1 =180^\circ-75^\circ\\m\angle 1 =105^\circ$
