Answer:
Marion bought 6 frog lures and 8 lizard fishing lures.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let represent frog lures and
represent lizard lures.
The total packages Marion bought is
If she bought frog lures in packages of 4 and lizard lures in packages of 6 for a total of 72 lures, then
We make the subject in equation 1 and put it into equation 2 to get;
We put equation 3 into equation 2 to get;
We expand the bracket to get;
We put into equation 3 to get;
Therefore Marion bought 6 frog lures and 8 lizard fishing lures.
Answer:
A. 15
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this you need to compare the lengths given to you in the question statement.
Because the lines originate from a single point, they're like triangles. We can easily see a triangle AGF and a triangle ADE, right?
Both triangles are similar triangles, so we can see triangle ADE as a larger version of angle AGF.
They give you the dimension of A F and A E (through A F + F E) to establish a ratio... and they give you A G, asking for A D.
So, A F = 16, A E = 20 (16 + 4), A G = 12.
Since A D is to A G what A E is to A F, we can easily make the following cross-multiplication:
So, A D = (A G * A E)/A F
A D = (12 * 20) / 16 = 15
