Let's set up a proportion. (<em>We will call our answer x.</em>)
15 cookies / 9 dollars = 1 cookie / x dollars
15x = 9
x = 9/15 dollars
x = 60 cents
Divide total milk by amount per glass.
When dividing by a fraction flip the fraction over and multiply:
7/8 x 16/1 = (7 x16) / ( 8 x1) = 112/8 = 14
Answer: 14 glasses
The value of x in the congruent triangles abc and dec is 1
<h3>How to determine the value x?</h3>
The question implies that the triangles abc and dec are congruent triangles.
The congruent sides are:
ab = de
bc = ce = 4
ac = cd = 5
The congruent side ab = de implies that:
4x - 1 = x + 2
Collect like terms
4x - x = 2 + 1
Evaluate the like terms
3x = 3
Divide through by 3
x = 1
Hence, the value of x is 1

<u>Complete question</u>
Two triangles, abc and cde, share a common vertex c on a grid. in triangle abc, side ab is 4x - 1, side bc is 4, side ac is 5. in triangle cde, side cd is 5, side de is x + 2, side ce is 4. If Δabc ≅ Δdec, what is the value of x? a. x = 8 b. x = 5 c. x = 4 d. x = 1 e. x = 2
1 whole can be written as 12/12 and 12/12- 7/12= 5/12
It'd be A since dividing on a negative coefficient results flipping the sign of the inequality and results in a different impact
