To find x:
Triangles are in total 180 degrees. The two triangles are basically 1 triangle split in half. If the triangle share the same side, has similar angles (shown by the curves on both sides at the top(Angle BAC and CAB), and has similar sides(shown by the hashes made in the lines AC & AB), you can conclude 'x' as a 90 degree angle.
To find y:
The measurment of the angle DCA is 47 degrees. For x, we concluded the answer to be 90 degrees, making the other side of the line 90 degrees as well.Since a triangle is 180 degrees, we can add 47 and 90 to get 137. Taking that answer, we subtract it from the value of 180 degrees to get 43 degrees. So y equals 43.
Answer: (a) The ratio of spirit to varnish is 1 : 3
(b) You will need 80 ml of mineral spirits
(c) Ratio = 3 : 2
Step-by-step explanation: (a) If you have to mix 25% mineral spirit to the varnish as required in the question, then the whole solution would effectively contain 25 percent spirit and 75 percent varnish, giving you a hundred percent solution. To express both quantities in ratio can be done as follows;
Ratio = Spirit : Varnish
Ratio = 25 : 75
Ratio = 1 : 3
(b) Next, if you use 240 ml of varnish, this quantity would constitute 75 percent or ratio 3 out of 4 of your total solution. Therefore 240 ml of varnish can be expressed as follows;
240 : x = 3 : 4
Where x is the total solution and the right hand side (3 : 4) expresses the ratio of varnish in relation to the total solution. Hence,
240/x = 3/4
By cross multiplication you now have,
3x = 240 * 4
x = 960/3
x = 320
If x is the total solution which is 320 ml, and varnish constitutes 240 ml, then spirit equals,
Spirit = Total solution - varnish
Spirit = 320 - 240
Spirit = 80.
Therefore, you would need 80 ml of mineral spirits.
(c) Robson's tapestries all measure 1.5 m by 1 m. This can be expressed in whole numbers by first eliminating the decimal. Multiplying both dimensions by 10 results in,
1.5 (10) x 1 (10)
15 x 10
If both measurements can also be expressed as 15 m by 10 m, then reducing to the least terms would result in 3 by 2. That is,
15/5 by 10/5
3 by 2
Expressed as a ratio, this now becomes
Ratio = 3 : 2
Part A:
A coefficient can be either '15' or '25'.
A variable can be either 'w' or 'm'.
A constant is 65.
Part B:
Simply substitute, or plug-in, the numbers and solve.
***Step 1:
65+15w+25m --> 65+15(20)+25(3)
You do this because you are substituting the 'w' for the number
of weeks that Jaxon saved up for, which is 20, and the 'm' for the number
of times that Jaxon mowed the lawn, which is 3.
***Step 2:
65+15(20)+25(3) --> 65+300+75
Begin to solve, using PEMDAS, or whichever acronym you learned.
Remember, if you are using PEMDAS, recall that the order is Parenthesis,
Exponents, Multiplication/Division (whichever comes first), and
Addition/Subtraction (whichever comes first). Here, I checked for parenthesis.
I did find parenthesis, however, they do not have any expressions inside of
them, meaning that these parenthesis are for multiplying, and not for stating
order. So, you skip parenthesis. Next, you check for exponents, which you
find none of, so you skip over that. Now, we get to multiplying/dividing, so
you multiply the 15 and the 20 to get 300, and the 25 and 3 to get 75.
***Step 3:
65+300+75 --> 440
Now, we get to addition. You simply add everything up to get your final
answer: $440.
Part C:
If Jaxon had $75, then yes, the coefficients would change.
By subtracting $65 from $75, we can see that the total amount of money
from Jaxon's deposits and his lawn-mowing money is $10. Jaxon already
deposits $15 a week, meaning that, while using the current equation, Jaxon
CANNOT have $75 in his bank account. We can change the equation
so that Jaxon is able to have $75 in his savings account. You can change
the coefficient of 15 to 10, and the other coefficient of 25 to 0.
Now Jaxon is able to have $75 in his savings account.
