A ratio of 5:7 means out of 12 books, 5 are in one category and 7 are in another. (The “category” isn’t specified in this problem.)
So here we’re STARTING with 36 books; we want to find a ratio that is equal to 5:7 and adds up to 36. Well 36 = 3(12), and so if we multiply each number in the ratio by 3 as well, we might get what we want. Doing that gives us 15:21, which adds up to 36 and is equal to 5:7. Boom, that’s the answer.
P.S. Here’s a question you can think about: why do ratios stay the same when you multiply each number by the same amount? (For example, why is 3:1 the same as 6:2?)
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
The measure of ∠BAF is 54°.
Solution:
DF and CE are intersecting lines.
m∠EAF = 72° and AB bisects ∠CAF.
∠EAF and ∠DAC are vertically opposite angles.
Vertical angle theorem:
<em>If two lines are intersecting, then vertically opposite angles are congruent.</em>
∠DAC ≅ ∠EAF
m∠DAC = 72°
<em>Sum of the adjacent angles in a straight line = 180°</em>
m∠DAE + m∠EAF = 180°
m∠DAE + 72° = 180°
Subtract 72° from both sides.
m∠DAE = 108°
∠CAF and ∠DAE are vertically opposite angles.
⇒ m∠CAF = m∠DAE
⇒ m∠CAF = 108°
AB bisects ∠CAF means ∠CAB = ∠BAF
m∠CAB + m∠BAF = 108°
m∠BAF + m∠BAF = 108°
2 m∠BAF = 108°
Divide by 2 on both sides, we get
m∠BAF = 54°
Hence the measure of ∠BAF is 54°.
