QUESTION : \frac{3}{5} = \frac{24}{a}. What I would do is divide 24 by 3, and once you do that, your answer is 8. So that leads you to the conclusion that 8 is multiplied by 3 to get 24. Move down to the 5 and the a. If the numerator of the first fraction is multiplied by 8 to get the numerator of the second fraction, then you can sure as heck believe that the same applies to both denominators.

So I would say you multiply 5 with 8. 5 × 8 is 40, and so a = 40.

Point Q is equidistant from AB and AC. What must be true about Q?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

D. It is on the angle bisector of ∠BAC

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that point Q is equidistant from AB and AC. This implies that AB and AC forms an angle BAC i.e <BAC. An equidistant point is a point that has the same distance from two different reference points.

Bisection is the process by which a line or angle is divided into two equal parts. A line that passes through the point of division is called a bisector, which is of equal distance to either of the reference points.

Thus by construction, a point that would be of equal distance to AB and AC is on an angle bisector of <BAC. So that point Q is on the angle bisector of <BAC.

Let a,b & c be the number of cookies Adrian, Bobby and Calvin baked respectively.

(a+b+c)/3 =138

(a+b)/2 =136

a+b=272

a=272-b

(b+c)/2 =125

b+c=250

c=250-b

Sub a=272-b and c=250-b into (a+b+c)/3 =138,

(a+b+c)/3 =138

[(272-b)+b+(250-b)]/3 = 138

272-b+b+250-b = 414

-b = -108

b=108

From the above,

a=272-b

=272-108

a=164

c=250-b

=250-108

c=142

∵ a=164

b=108

c=142

∴ Adrian baked 164 cookies.

Bobby baked 108 cookies.

Calvin baked 142 cookies.
