Answer:

35 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we can set up a proportion.

Let's name the weight of the wheat flour "x."

3/5=21/x

Cross multiply to solve.

3*x=5*21

3x=105

x=35

The weight of the wheat flour is 35 pounds.

What’s the hypotenuse?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

c = 10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean theorem:  a^2 + b^2 = c^2

<u>Step 1:  Plug in the information</u>

(6)^2 + (8)^2 = c^2

36 + 64 = c^2

100 = c^2

sqrt(100) = sqrt(c^2)

<em>10 = c</em>

<em />

Answer: c = 10 feet

if PQ || RS and the slope of PQ= x-1/4 and the slope of RS is 3/8 then find the value of x justify algebraically and numerically
Artemon [7]

The value of x is 5/8.

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:

Given,

  • The lines PQ and RS are parallel to each other.
  • slope of PQ= x-1/4
  • slope of RS = 3/8

The slopes of parallel lines are equal.

slope of PQ = slope of RS

⇒ x-1/4 = 3/8

⇒ (4x-1)/4 = 3/8

⇒ 8(4x-1) = 4(3)

⇒ 32x-8 = 12

⇒ 32x = 20

x = 20/32

x = 5/8
