Answer:
x = 24
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle is split into two similar triangles. They have the same shape but not the same size. To solve, write a proportion.
Cross multiply to solve for x.
56(x+4) = 44.8(35)
56x + 224 = 1,568
56x = 1,344
x= 24
Bag weight 1.8 kg
Golf ball weight: 45g
1 kg = 1000g
Total bag weight in grams = 1.8 x 1000 = 1800g
total bag weight / golf ball weight = total balls in bag
1800 / 45 = 40
Total balls in bag = 40.
To write fractions as decimals divide the numerator by the denominator, for example 3/4 3 divided by 4 equals 0.75 so 3/4 as a decimal is 0.75. If you want to do that with a mixed number, 3 3/4 3 divided by 4 equals 0.75 then add the 3 so 3 3/4 is equal to 3.75.
