It fell by 19%
Use 1173 as your total and then find the percent from 951 and subtract from 100 and that’s the percent that fell
The ratio of suitcases to screened suitcases is 36:8. The second ratio is 180:?.
--
180 is 5 times 36 which can be proven by dividing 180 by 36.
180 ÷ 36 = 5
Multiply 5 by 8 to find the amount of suitcases that would be screened if there were 180 total suitcases.
5 × 8 = 40
The first ratio is 36:8, and with a scale factor of 5 we get the second equivalent ratio 180:40.
<h2>Answer:</h2>
<u>Forty suitcases</u><u> will be screened.</u>
I hope this helps :)
Hi there!
Since the triangle is equilateral, all of its sides are congruent. This means that to solve, we can set the two given equations equal to each other.
2(x - 8) = 1/2x + 8
2x - 16 = 1/2x + 8
1.5x - 16 = 8
1.5x = 24
x = 16
Now that we know what x is, we can plug that in for x in the equation for ZY.
2(16 - 8) = ZY
ZY = 2(8)
ZY = 16 units
And here is the work to show that XZ is also 16.
1/2(16) + 8 = XZ
XZ = 8 + 8
XZ = 16
Hope this helps!! :)
If there's anything else that I can help you with, please let me know!
