Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The two right triangles share angle A, so the similarity statement can be written ...

ΔABC ~ ΔADE

Corresponding sides are proportional, so we have ...

BC/DE = AB/AD

x/12 = 3/(3+9)

x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 12

Luis es repartidor de leche el tiene 534 bolsas y las reparte entre cierto numero de tienda de modo que a cada le corresponde 28

OlgaM077 [116]

The first thing we must keep in mind is that there are 2 bags left over.
Therefore, Luis distributed:
534-2 = 532
The number of bags will be:
N = (total amount distributed) / (amount distributed per store)
Substituting we have:
N = (532) / (28)
N = 19
Answer:
Luis distributed milk for 19 stores.

Ella grew 3 over 4 of an inch last year. Ben grew 2 over 3 of an inch last year. How much more did Ella grow than Ben last year?

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Ella grew $\frac{1}{12}$ of an inch more

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you want to subtract Ben's growth from Ella's.

This expression would be $\frac{3}{4}$ - $\frac{2}{3}$ .

To work these out, they must have the same denominator (which should be the lowest common multiple or LCM).

In this case, the LCM is 12, so you want to multiply each side so the denominator is 12. This means the first fraction should be multiplied by $\frac{3}{3}$ and the second by $\frac{4}{4}$ .
