Find the missing length indicated?

Mathematics
1 answer:
kondor19780726 [428]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

D. 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the missing length be represented as x.

Thus:

(24 - x)/12 = x/20 => angle bisector theorem

Cross multiply

20(24 - x) = x(12)

480 - 20x = 12x

480 - 20x + 20x = 12x + 20x

480 = 32x

480/32 = 32x/32

15 = x

Missing length = x = 15

An animal shelter houses dogs, cats, and rabbits. there are 126 animals at the shelter. of the animals, 1/3 are cats. three four
viva [34]
Given that an animal shelter houses three kinds of animals: dogs, cats and rabbits and it has a total of 126 animals. 1/3 of the animals are cats. This means, 1/3 of 126 is 42. So there are 42 cats. 3/4 of the remaining animals, which is 84 are dogs. So 3/4 of 84 is 63. So there are 63 dogs. 63 dogs plus 42 cats is 105 animals. 126 minus 105 is 21. Therefore, there are only 21 rabbits. Hope this helps.

jen uses 8.2 of blue paint and white paint to paint her bedroom walls. 4/5ths of this amount is blue paint, and the rest is whit
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

The amount of white paint Jen used to paint the walls in her room is:

  • <u>1.64 pints.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the exercise you only have to pay attention to the statement, in the section that says that 4/5 parts of the total painting is blue, therefore, if 1 is the total painting, you must do a subtraction:

  • 1 - 4/5 = 1/5

Since the remaining white paint is 1/5 of the total, you have two ways to solve the exercise: multiply the total paint (8.2 pints) by 1/5 or divide the number by 5, as shown below:

  • <u>Amount of white paint = 8.2 pints * (1/5) = 1.64 pints. </u>
  • <u>Amount of white paint = 8.2 pints / 5 = 1.64 pints. </u>

As you can see, the two methods provide a <u>value of 1.64 pints, which corresponds to 1/5 of the total paint and is the amount of white paint used</u>.
