Answer:

1. Write both ratios as fractions and reduce them completely. If they are the same fraction, the ratios form a proportion.

2. Write both ratios as fractions. Do the cross products by multiplying the denominator of each fraction by the numerator of the other fraction. If the cross products are equal, the ratios form a proportion.

Find x value for the point that splits segment co in halt point c is located at 4) and point D is located at (3,7)

VLD [36.1K]

Okay to split a segment in half you just need to find the midpoint of the two endpoints. Mathematically this is just the average of the coordinates of the endpoints which is:

mp=((x1+x2)/2, (y1+y2)/2)

Which in this case is:

mp=((-2+3)/2, (4+7)/2)

mp=(1/2, 11/2)

mp=(0.5, 5.5)

So the x-coordinate by itself is just 0.5, or answer c.

Bobby wants to go on a school trip that will cost him $250. He comes up with an equation that represents how much he needs to sa

monitta

Yes, Bobby will have enough money if he saves for 9 weeks. You can find this through either substituting w for 9 in the equation, or solving the equation itself.

Substituting:

$25(9)+30$
Substitute w for 9.

$225+30$
Simplify.

$225+30=255$
Solve.

255 is greater than 250, so yes, he will have enough money saved.

Solving the equation:

$25w+30=250$
Original Equation

$25w=220$
Subtract 30 from both sides.

$w=8.8$
Divide both sides by 25.

The number of weeks he needs is 8.8. When rounding it up, you get 9.
