Here, triangle AEN and ALG are similar.


We know that the ratio of corresponding sides of two similar triangles are equal. So,

\frac{21}{42} =\frac{2x-9}{(2x-9)+(x+7)}\\\\\frac{1}{2} =\frac{2x-9}{3x-2}\\\\ 3x-2=4x-18\\\\-2+18=4x-3x\\\\16=x\\\\x=16\\

6. At a game, there were 24 adults and 10 children. Keeping the same ratio,
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The total number of adults will be: 120 adults

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there were 24 adults and 10 children in a game.

Thus, adults to children ration = 24:10 or 24/10

  • If there were 50 children, how many adults would be at the game?

Let 'x' be the number of adults when there 50 children.

so the ration of adults 'x' to 50 childern = x: 50 or x / 50

As the ratio is the same.

Thus,

24 : 10 = x : 50

24/10 = x/50

switching sides

x/50  = 24/10

x  = 24/10 × 50

x = 120 adults

Therefore, the total number of adults will be: 120 adults

Find 4/7 divided by 7/8
Reika [66]
If you divide a fraction by another fraction, this is equivalent to mupltiplying by its inverse:

so \frac{4}{7} divided by\frac{7}{8}

is equivalent to

\frac{4}{7} multiplied by by\frac{7}{8} 

which is


\frac{4}{7}* \frac{7}{8}= \frac{4*7}{7*8}= \frac{4}{8}= \frac{1}{2}

so the answer is \frac{1}{2} which is also 0.5

16 2/5 - 9 2/3 = show work
fgiga [73]

Answer:

Conversion a mixed number 16 3

8

to a improper fraction: 16 3/8 = 16 3

8

= 16 · 8 + 3

8

= 128 + 3

8

= 131

8

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 16 by the denominator 8. Whole number 16 equally 16 * 8

8

= 128

8

b) Add the answer from previous step 128 to the numerator 3. New numerator is 128 + 3 = 131

c) Write previous answer (new numerator 131) over the denominator 8.

Sixteen and three eighths is one hundred thirty-one eighths

Conversion a mixed number 9 5

8

to a improper fraction: 9 5/8 = 9 5

8

= 9 · 8 + 5

8

= 72 + 5

8

= 77

8

To find new numerator:

a) Multiply the whole number 9 by the denominator 8. Whole number 9 equally 9 * 8

8

= 72

8

b) Add the answer from previous step 72 to the numerator 5. New numerator is 72 + 5 = 77

c) Write previous answer (new numerator 77) over the denominator 8.

Nine and five eighths is seventy-seven eighths

Subtract: 131

8

- 77

8

= 131 - 77

8

= 54

8

= 2 · 27

2 · 4

= 27

4

The common denominator you can calculate as the least common multiple of the both denominators - LCM(8, 8) = 8. Cancelling by a common factor of 2 gives 27

4

.

In words - one hundred thirty-one eighths minus seventy-seven eighths = twenty-seven quarters.

One day you bike for 30 miles 10 cool down at a rate of 0.25 miles/minute. The total distance you bike is 35 miles. How many min
tatyana61 [14]
To determine the length of time it would took for the biker to cool down, we need the rate that would relate the distance he traveled to cool down per units of time. For this problem, the rate is given as 0.25 miles per minute. So, we simply divide the total distance he traveled with this rate. We calculate as follows:

time to cool down = distance / rate
time to cool down = 35 miles / 0.25 miles / minute
time to cool down = 140 minutes or 2 hrs and 20 minutes

Therefore, the biker would need to cool down for about 2 hrs and 20 minutes if he traveled for 35 miles.
