I’m not sure if this is correct but this is the way i would solve it.

first, make an equation with the given information

2x-3=30

Then, add three to both sides

2x=33

Finally, divide both sides by 2

x= 16.5

x represents the age of maggie so all you have to do is plug the solution into the equation to check your answer.

2(16.5)-3= 30

Maria y juan deben realizar el mapamundi en medio pliego de cartulina para la tarea de sociales pero cada uno tiene un cuarto de

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Cuando María afirma que si unen sus dos cuartos de cartulina obtendrán el medio pliego que necesitan, esto es:

Verdadero.

Step-by-step explanation:

Para entender mejor el ejercicio vamos a utilizar números cada vez que se habla de cantidades de cartulina, por lo tanto, María y Juan tienen 1/4 de cartulina cada uno, es decir, 1/4 * 2, y necesitan 1/2 pliego para poder realizar su tarea, por lo tanto, con la afirmación de María sobre unir los dos cuartos de cartulina, en caso de que sea verdadero, ocurrirá que la suma de los dos cuartos dará el medio pliego, como se muestra a continuación:

Total de cartulina de María y Juan = $\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{4}$
Total de cartulina de María y Juan = $\frac{4+4}{16}$
Total de cartulina de María y Juan = $\frac{8}{16}$

Procedemos a simplificar el fraccionario obtenido, sacando mitad tanto en el numerador como en el denominador:

Total de cartulina de María y Juan = $\frac{4}{8}$
Total de cartulina de María y Juan = $\frac{2}{4}$
Total de cartulina de María y Juan = $\frac{1}{2}$

Como puedes ver al final, la cantidad de cartulina de ambos, al ser sumada, da como resultado el 1/2 (medio) pliego que necesitan para su tarea de sociales, por lo cual la afirmación de María es correcta.

Finding an irrational number between which given pair of numbers supports the idea that irrational numbers are dense

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

3.33 and 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

"Dense" here means that there are infinite irrational numbers between two rational numbers. Also, there are infinite rational numbers between two rational numbers. That's the meaning of dense. Actually, that can be apply to all real numbers, there always is gonna be a number between other two.

But, to demonstrate that irrationals are dense, we have to based on an interval with rational limits, because the theorem about dense sets is about rationals, and the dense irrational set is a deduction from it. That's why the best option is 2, because that's an interval with rational limits.

PLEASE HELP I WILL GIVE 100 POINTS!!!!!!!!Given rectangle ABCD ~ HGFE , what is the length of HG ?

never [62]

Since rectangle ABCD is similar to HGFE, the ratios of the lengths of their corresponding sides are equal. We can infer form our picture that AD is corresponding to EH and DC is corresponding to HG, so lets find the ratios of those corresponding sides and establish a proportion to find the length of HG:
$\frac{AD}{EH} = \frac{DC}{HG}$
We know that $AD=45$ , $EH=27$ , and $DC=15$ , so lets replace those values in our proportion:
$\frac{45}{27} = \frac{15}{HG}$
$HG= \frac{27*15}{45}$
$HG= \frac{405}{45}$
$HG=9$

We can conclude that the length of the segment HG is 9.
