Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the average of the base lengths. Where "b" is the length of the other base, we have ...

36 = (44 +b)/2

b = 72 -44 = 28

We are told this is the same as 2x+10, so we have ...

28 = 2x +10

18 = 2x . . . . . subtract 10

9 = x . . . . . . . divide by 2

The value of x is 9.

greg wants to divide a 2 and 1/2 pound block of cheese into four equal pieces. How much will each piece weigh?

Alex73 [517]

let's firstly convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction and then divide.

$\bf \stackrel{mixed}{2\frac{1}{2}}\implies \cfrac{2\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{5}{2}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \cfrac{5}{2}\div 4\implies \cfrac{5}{2}\div \cfrac{4}{1}\implies \cfrac{5}{2}\cdot \cfrac{1}{4}\implies \cfrac{5}{8}$
