<h3>
Answer: choice B) 36</h3>
=================================================
Explanation:
The vertical sides, when read from left to right, can be divided to get this fraction: 9/90
Following the same order and direction, we divide the slanting corresponding sides to get: b/360
The fractions we constructed are equal to one another, as the triangles are said to be proportional.
We have the fraction 9/90 = b/360
Lets cross multiply and solve for b
--------------------
9/90 = b/360
9*360 = 90*b
3240 = 90b
90b = 3240
90b/90 = 3240/90
<h3>b = 36</h3>
--------------------
A quick way to do this may be to notice how the jump from 9 to 90 is "times 10" so the jump from b to 360 is also "times 10". Think in reverse to divide 360 over 10 and we land on 36 as our answer. This line of thinking does not work as simple for all proportional problems.
Answer:
7.5 quarts of olive oil remain.
Explanation:
Let
q = quarts of olive oil remain
<span>25%</span> of olive oil remains means that <span>75%</span> has been used.
22<span>12</span> quarts = 22.5 quarts used
<span><span>22.5.75</span>=<span>q.25</span></span>
Multiply both sides by .25 to isolate q.
<span><span>22.5.75</span><span>(.25)</span>=<span>q.25</span><span>(.25)</span></span>
<span><span>5.625.75</span>=q</span>
<span>7.5=<span>q</span></span>

Hopefully this is right!
Answer:
59
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation is
944 - 5x = 1180 - 9x
Notice what is being said. You start with 944 gallons and take off 5 per week
You also start with 1180 gallons and take on 9 per week.
You want to know when the two are equal. The second tank is larger, but it leaks more. That's what's going to bring about equality.
Add 9x to both sides
944 - 5x + 9x = 1180
944 + 4x = 1180
Subtract 944 from both sides.
4x = 1180 - 944
4x = 236
Divide by 4
x = 236/4
x = 59 weeks
