Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Because midpoints were used to make similar triangles we can say
AC=2(DE)
5x+12=2(9x-20)
5x+12=18x-40
-13x+12=-40
-13x=-52
x=4
AC=5x+12
AC=5(4)+12
AC=20+12
AC=32
We develop the ratio between the number of milliliters present in 1 tablespoon and that is,
15 mL: 1 tablespoon
We let x be the number of millileter in 3 tbsp and it can be determined through the equation below.
x = 3 tbsp x (15 mL/ 1 tbsp) = 45 mL
Therefore, there are 45 mL in 3 tbsp.
