Answer:

  • Add 1 until you get 3 and 5
  • Bisect 8 until you get 1, then go 1 either side of the middle

Step-by-step explanation:

It looks like you have no requirement that the segments be on the same line, or that one segment is divided into the ratio 3:5.

Perhaps the easiest is to draw a line, mark two points a convenient distance apart, and use your compass to repeatedly copy that length to the end of itself until you have lengths of 3 and 5. Here's one way to do that:

  • Make marks A and B on a line, with A to the left
  • Copy length AB to the right of B and mark the point C (now AC is 2 units)
  • Copy that same length to the left of A and mark the point E (now EC is 3 units)
  • Copy length AC to the right of C and mark the point D (now BD is 3 units, and ED is 5 units)

Segments BD and ED are in the ratio 3 : 5.

_____

Another way to do this is to start with a segment of a length you can consider to be 8 units. Call it AB. Construct the perpendicular bisector, and call the midpoint C. Construct the perpendicular bisector of AC and call the midpoint D. Construct the perpendicular bisector of DC. Its midpoint E divides the segment so that ...

  AE : EB = 3 : 5

What is the sum of 1 2/5 and 5 3/4​
Art [367]

Answer:

7\frac{3}{20}

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Hey there!</em>

Well to add this we need to pu it in improper form.

7/5 + 23/4

Now we need to find the LCM.

5 - 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30

4 - 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28

So the LCD is 20.

Now we need to change the 5 and 4 to 20.

5*4 = 20

7*4 = 28

<u>28/20</u>

4*5=20

23*5=115

<u>115/20</u>

Now we can add 28 and 115,

= 143/20

Simplified

7 3/20

<em>Hope this helps :)</em>

A town's population went from 25,800 to 42,600 in 15 years. What was the percent of changes?
melomori [17]
42,600 - 25,800 = 16800. That is the increase in 15 years.

You then calculate the increase as a percentage of the original population; 25,800.

16,800 / 25,800 * 100 = 65.11%
