Answer:

8 kiwi

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a typical proportional problem for Algebra.

You can do this problem several ways, some shorter than others, however, I want you to understand. So, with that said,

You place the following equation together:

Number of Kiwi/Dollars = Number of Kiwi/Dollars

You are given three of the values:

32 Kiwi/16 = x/4   Please notice: You know Jasmine bought 32 Kiwi for $16.00 and know she has $4.00. You do not know how many kiwi she can purchase. Do you see this?

Now, since this is an equation (an equal sign between two fractions) you can cross-multiply. When you do so you multiply the numerator on the left with the denominator on the right. Then cross-multiply the denominator from the left with the numerator on the right.

You are left with the following due to cross multiplication:

16 x = 4 (32) or 128

16x = 128  Solve for x by dividing 16 into 128 and you arrive at 8

WHY I do this problem in this manner is because you can ALWAYS check your work. In other words, plug 8 (the value for x) into the original equation. When you do so watch what happens:

Original equation: 32/16 = x/4

Then:

32/16 = x/4  or 32/16 = 8/4

Cross multiply: Does 32 times 4 equal 16 times 8?  Yes, it indeed does.

Answer:

The measure of angle T is 135 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's just say the measure of angles T and S are variables t and s.

So the equation would be...

t + s = 180

Since they are supplementary angles, they add up to 180.

Also, we know that t is 3 times s.

t = 3s

Now we can solve this system of equations.

Substitute 3s into t of the first equation.

3s + s = 180

4s = 180

s = 45

Then, since we know that the measure of angle t is 3 times the measure of angle s, we can just multiply 45 by 3 and find the measure of angle t.

45 * 3 = 135

t = 135

So the measure of angle t is 135.
