Use proportions.
2 chocolate chips : 6 peanuts = ? chocolate chips : 108 peanuts
Find the scale factor of the information that matches. In this case it would be 108 peanuts divided by 6 peanuts. Then use this scale factor to multiply 2 chocolate chips by to get your answer.
SF: 108 <span>÷ 6 = 18
18 x 2 = 36 chocolate chips
2 chocolate chips : 6 peanuts = 36 chocolate chips : 108 peanuts
ANSWER: If there are 108 peanuts in the mix, there will be 36 chocolate chips in the mix.</span>
First, find the greatest common factor, or the biggest number that goes into both 64 and 100.
The GCF of 64 and 100 is 4
64 ÷ 4 = 16
100 ÷ 4 = 25
The reduced fraction is 16/25
Because there is no other number that goes into both 16 and 25, this is the most reduced you can get it.
Therefore, 64/100 is reduced to
16/25
In this case we use intersecting secant theorem
According to this theorem, GF*GE = GH*GA
So,we plug in the values
(x-3)*(x-3+9) =(x-2)*(x-2+6)
(x-3)*(x+6) =(x-2)*(x+4)
x^2 +6x -3x -18 =x^2 +4x -2x -8
x^2 +3x -18 =x^2 +2x -8
x^2 +3x -18 -x^2 -2x +8 =0
x -10 =0
x=10
So,FG =x-3 = 10-3 =7
Hello!
We can make an equation based on what we know
The product of 9 and a number is
9 * x
Added to six
9 * x + 6
Gives the result of 24
9 * x + 6 = 24
Now you solve it algebraically
Subtract 6 from both sides
9 * x = 18
Divide both sides by 9
x = 2
The answer is 2
Hope this helps!
Each person will get 7/56, I believe
