Answer:

6.75 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is of direct variation. We will use x as our answer. 8 is 2/3 of 12, so 4.5 should be 2/3 of x. We can now make an equation.

$4.5=\frac{2}{3} x\\4.5*\frac{3}{2} =\frac{2}{3} x*\frac{3}{2} \\6.75=x$

In order to solve the equation, we multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/3, which is 3/2.

* stands for multiplication

From solving our equation, we get 6.75. We can't forget the units, so the answer is 6.75 pounds.

On April 11, 2012, two earthquakes were measured off the northwest coast of Sumatra. The first had a magnitude of 8.6. The secon

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Option D. 2.51 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Magnitude of first earthquake = 8.6

Let intensity of first earthquake be x

$Magnitude = \log(\frac{x}{S}),\text{ where S is seismographic factor}\\\\\implies 8.6=\log(\frac{x}{S}).......(1)$

Magnitude of second earthquake = 8.2

Let intensity of second earthquake be y

$Magnitude = \log(\frac{y}{S}),\text{ where S is seismographic factor}\\\\\implies 8.2=\log(\frac{y}{S}).......(2)$

Now, to find the factor by which intensity of first earthquake is greater than intensity of second : we divide equation (1) by equation (2)

$\implies\log(\frac{x}{y})=8.6 - 8.2\\\\\implies \log(\frac{x}{y})=0.4\\\\\implies\frac{x}{y}=10^{0.4}\\\\\implies\frac{x}{y}=2.51$

Hence the required factor is 2.51

Therefore, Option D. 2.51 is correct.

Find the value of x.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

In $\triangle BAC, \: DE || AC$

Hence, by basic proportionality theorem:

$\frac{x + 2}{x} = \frac{3}{2} \\ \\ \therefore \: 2(x + 2) = 3x \\ \therefore \:2x + 4 = 3x \\ \therefore \:4 = 3x - 2x \\ \therefore \:4 = x \\ \huge \red { \boxed{\therefore \:x = 4}}$
