Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This thing to know about this question is that angle 1 and angle 3 are actually the same.

When two lines intersect, the opposite angles such as that shown in 1 and 3 are equal to each other.

So what you can do is set angle 1 and 3 equal to each other like so:

5x+10 = 70

Then solve for x

5x+10 = 70

5x = 60

x = 12

Jen has 6 yards of fabric and wants to make a new dress and shorts she used 3 1/3 yards of the fabric on her new dress how much

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

$2\frac{2}{3}\ yards$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find out how much fabric Jen has left for the shorts, subtract the yards of fabric used in her new dress from the total yards of fabric Jen has.

$6-3\frac{1}{3}$

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$3\frac{1}{3}=\frac{3*3+1}{3}=\frac{10}{3}$

substitute

$6-3\frac{1}{3}=6-\frac{10}{3}=\frac{8}{3}\ yards$

Convert to mixed number

$\frac{8}{3}\ yards=\frac{6}{3}+\frac{2}{3}=2\frac{2}{3}\ yards$
