Answer:
6 apples
Step-by-step explanation:
A = 0.25
P = 0.15
----------------
A + P = 10
0.25A+0.15P=2.10
----------------
I did this: 0.25*10 = 2.50
2.50-2.10=.40
0.25-0.15=0.10
0.40/0.10 = 4 so 4 peaches
10 fruits - 4 peaches = 6 apples
Given:
Let x be the whole amount inherited.
1/2 * x - invested with Bernie Madoff
1/3 * x - lost due to identity theft
1/8 * x - lost in casino
40,000 - remainder
x - x/2 - x/3 - x/8 = 40,000
LCM:
2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24
3: 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24
8: 8, 16, 24,
x * 24/24 = 24x / 24
x/2 * 12/12 = 12x / 24
x/3 * 8/8 = 8x / 24
x/8 * 3/3 = 3x / 24
40,000 * 24/24 = 960,000 / 24
24x/24 - 12x/24 - 8x/24 - 3x/24 = 960,000/24
(24x - 12x - 8x - 3x)/24 = 960,000/24
x/24 = 960,000/24
24 * x/24 = 24 * 960,000/24
x = 960,000
x = 960,000 initial inheritance
x/2 = 960,000/2 = 480,000 invested with Bernie Madoff
x/3 = 960,000/3 = 320,000 lost due to identity theft
x/8 = 960,000/8 = 120,000 lost in the casino
40,000 - remaining amount.
960k - 480k - 320k - 120k = 40k
40k = 40k
The value of 'x' is 24.2 and the value of 'y' is 46.5.
To solve this, we do the following steps.
<u>Step 1:</u> Divide 'y' into 2 parts, 'a' and 'b'. 'a' would be the lower leg of the 45°-45°-90° triangle, while 'b' is the lower leg of the 30°-60°-90° triangle.<em>
</em><u>Step 2:</u> Given the hypotenuse (34) of the 30°-60°-90° triangle, solve for 'b' using the cosine of 30°.
cos30° = b/34 [adjacent over hypotenuse]
b = 34cos30° [cross-multiply]
b = 29.4
<u>Step 3:</u> Solve for the 90° leg (the side opposite the 30° angle) using the Pythagorean Theorem. We will name this leg "h" (cuz height).
l² + l² = hyp²
29.4² + h² = 34²
h² = 1156 - 864.36
√h² = √291.64
h = 17.1
<u>Step 4:</u> Solve for 'x' by using the 45°-45°-90° triangle ratio (1:1:√2). √2 would be the hypotenuse of the 45°-45°-90° triangle, while 1 would be both congruent legs.
Side 'h' is one of the legs; side 'a' is the other. Since these legs are congruent, 'a' also measures 17.1. Now all we need to do is solve for 'x', which is our hypotenuse. To do this, we simply multiply the measure of side 'h' or 'a' by √2.
x = 17.1 × √2
x = 24.2
<u>Step 5:</u> Now that we got the value of 'x', solve for 'y' by adding the measures of sides 'a' and 'b' together.<em>
</em><u /> y = a + b
y = 17.1 + 29.4
y = 46.5
And there you have it! <em>Hope this helps.</em>

The answer would be 64 inches or 5 feet 4 inches.
3 yards is equal to 108 inches and 1 foot is equal to 12 inches which equals 120 inches
120-56=64
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: write the equation in the form of a proportion
2 1/2 is to 4 as something is to 3
2 1/2 / 4 = x/3
Then, cross multiply 2 1/2 x 3 or
5/2 x 3/1 = 15/2
Next cross multiply 4•X= 4X
Write as 4X = 15/2
Divide both sides by 4.
4X/ 4 = 15/2 /4
x = 15/2÷ 4/1
Divide by changing the sign to multiplication and inverting 4/1 to 1/4 like this:. 15/2. × 1/4= 15/8
Finally, 15/8 simplifies to 1 7/8 cups
