The newspaper has 240000 readers
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, Local newspaper has letters to the editor from 60,000 people
This number represents 25% of all of the newspaper's readers
To find: Number of newspaper readers
Let "x" be the number of all newspaper readers
From given statement,
60,000 people = 25% of all of the newspaper's readers
60, 000 = 25 % of x
Solve the above expression for "x"
25 % of x = 60000
Thus the newspaper has 240000 readers
Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
if ABC ~ DEF than AB ~ ED, AC ~ DF, and CB ~ FE
The ratio of AB to ED is given as 5/30 = 1/6
For AC ~ ED the ratio would be same x/42 = 1/6 cross multiply it
6x = 42
x = 7
First you'll need two equations ( you can use any variables you want)
A= photo group 1
B= photo group 2
First equation:
A + B = 33
This is because the total number of photos from both groups is 33
Second equation:
4A = 7B
This is because the ratio is 4:7 so for every four photos in group A there must be 7 photons in group B.
Then take the first equation A + B = 33 and subtract B from both sides. Making the equation A = 33 - B
Then with that equation, substitute it in for equation 2 and it will look like this. 4(33-B) = 7B
Then distribute the 4 to the 33 and the -B making the equation 132 - 4B = 7B
Then add 4B to each side
Making the equation 132 = 11B
Then to get B by itself you must divide each side by 11 making the equation 132/11 = B which simplifies to 12 = B
Then plug in 12 for B in the first equation like this A + 12 = 33
Then subtract 12 on each side of the equation to isolate A so A = 21
So
A = 21
B = 12
NLM bc the angled correspond, making the triangles congruent
