Answer:

NM = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given rectangle JKLM

JN = x + 3 and JL = 3x + 1

JN = 1/2JL as diagonals bisect each other and N is the midpoint of JL.

Substitute and solve for x:

x + 3 = 1/2(3x + 1)

2x + 6 = 3x + 1

3x - 2x = 6 - 1

x = 5

Find JN

JN = 5 + 3 = 8

Looking at the options, we see that

NM = JN = 8

Correct option is A

40% of students on a field trip love the museum. If there are 20 students on the field trip, how many love the museum??

MariettaO [177]

Since there are 20 students on the field trip. Then 20 is the 100% total. Thus, to find how many people love the museum, we can simply multiply the total number of people by the percentage of interest, namely 40%

20*0.4 = 8
So, 8 people love the museum.

Sarah answered 24 questions on her test correctly and earned an 80%. How many questions were on the test?

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

43 questions in total

Step-by-step explanation:

the original equation with the unknown (total number of questions on the test) will look like this

$\frac{total \: number \: of \: questions \: on \: exam}{24 \: answered \: questions} = 80\%$

we know this because to work out a percentage in the 1st place you need the total ÷ number (in this case it's ÷ how many questions out of the total she did answer)

now you rearrange.

you need to move the 24 to get the total on it's own here's how you do it

$\frac{tot \: num \: of \: qs}{24} \times 24 = 80\% \times 24$
