Answer:
3 = ?
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangles are similar, so we can use ratios
15 12 -2
------ = --------------
15+? 12
15 10
------ = --------------
15+? 12
Using cross products
15 * 12 = 10 ( 15+?)
180 = 10 ( 15+?)
Divide each side by 10
18 = 15+?
Subtract 15 from each side
18-15 = 15+?-15
3 = ?
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
3 1/2 times -(4/5)
First multiply 3 1/2 and -(4/5)=2 4/5
Answer: 3/10
Step-by-step explanation: (1/5) gallon / (2/3) bin = x gallons / 1 bin cross-multiply
1/5 = (2/3)x multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 2/3 = 3/2
(3/2) (1/5) = x = 3/10 gallons fills the entire bin
Look at it this way......each 1/10 of a gallon fills 1/3 of the bin......so 3(1/10) gallons fills 3(1/3)bins....or
3/10 gallons fills a whole bin...
