Since both trapezoids are similar, so LMNO is a scaled version of QRST by some magnitude
so we can easily use the concept of ratios to find x
in other words: x÷2=6÷5
so x=6×2÷5=12/5=2.4
x=2.4
The answer is 1.5 or 1 1/2.
here is the how you get this answer.
1: Cross Multiply (1.2)(60)=x
2: divide x by 48
3: you should get 1.5 or 3/2
BTW x is equal to 72
Answer:
558.036 lb
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x is the amount of the sea water to collect 125 lb of sea salt
As given: 64 lb/ft³ has 0.0035 dissolved salt by weight
So the formula to find out the amount of the sea water is:
64 lb/ft³ * 0.0035 *x ft³ = 125 lb
<=> x =
= 558.036 lb
Hope it will find you well.

The absolute value of -37 is 37.
The absolute value of 37 is also 37.
When you distribute the negative in the parenthesis the -37 becomes positive.
