Answer: 7.5

Form your proportion. Let x be the width of QRST.

Length of ABCD      Length of QRST
-----------------------  =  ------------------------- 
Width of ABCD         Width of QRST

8/5 = 12/x

Solve for x by cross-multiplying.
(8)(x) = (12)(5)
8x = 60
x = 7.5

What is T In the equation 3/7+t=20/21
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

\large\boxed{t=\dfrac{11}{21}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\dfrac{3}{7}+t=\dfrac{20}{21}\qquad\text{subtract}\ \dfrac{3}{7}\ \text{from both sides}\\\\\dfrac{3}{7}-\dfrac{3}{7}+t=\dfrac{20}{21}-\dfrac{3}{7}\qquad\text{LCD(7, 21)=21}\\\\t=\dfrac{20}{21}-\dfrac{3\cdot3}{7\cdot3}\\\\t=\dfrac{20}{21}-\dfrac{9}{21}\\\\t=\dfrac{20-9}{21}\\\\t=\dfrac{11}{21}

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

0.43

Step-by-step explanation:

Yellow flowers are 43%.

White flowers are = (100% - 43% ) = 57%

Consider there are total 100 flowers in the garden , so yellow ones are 43 and white ones are 57

Probability of a bee landing on a yellow flower is 43 out of 100

= 43/ 100

=0.43

Segment AB has point A located at (4, 2). If the distance from A to B is 3 units, which of the following is the coordinate for p
olganol [36]
The distance between two points is given by:
d² = (x₂-x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²
9 = (x₂ - 4)² + (y₂ - 2)²
Now, we can check different ordered pairs in this equation to see which satisfies it:
The one that satisfies this equation is (4 , -1).

The two objects are the same height, and the cylinder is just wide enough for the the box to fit inside with all 4 vertical edge
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a box with a length of l, width of w and a height of h is given by the formula:

volume of the box = length * width * height = lwh

The volume of a cylinder with a height of h, and radius r is given by the formula:

volume of the cylinder = π * radius² * height = πr²h

Since the box and the cylinder have the same height and the cylinder is wide enough for the box to be placed inside, this means that the box has a volume greater than that of the cylinder. Hence:

If the box can take 8 cups, the cylinder would be able to take 10 cups.
