You can tell that a fraction is a unit fraction when it is over a unit of one. This is also known as unit rate.
Step-by-step explanation:
can't really use the Pythagorean because you don't know this is a right triangle.
use the fact that they are similar
so
3/6 = x/12 where x is FE
cross multiply
6x = 36 therefore FE = 6
then 6/12 = y/9 where y is FD
cross multiply
12y = 54 = 54/12 therefore FD = 4.5
Answer: X = 13
Step-by-step explanation:
10 + 3 = 13
13 - 10 = 3
Answer:

33 gallons of water to begin with.
Step-by-step explanation:
So we essentially are given two coordinates: (6,87) and (21,222). To find an equation, we simply need to find the slope and y-intercept. We know it's a linear equation because it's a steady stream, meaning a constant slope.
The slope is:

So, the rate at which the stream flows is 9 gallons per minute.
Now, let's find the initial amount of water. To do this, we can use point-slope form. Pick either of the two points. I'm going to use (6,87).

So, there were 33 gallons of water in the tank to begin with.
