Answer:
x = 20
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
= 
( cross- multiply )
9x = 180 ( divide both sides by 9 )
x = 20
Answer: 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Android calculator accepts the above question via copy and paste, and gives 0.5
The point of this question is to try to discover whether or not you know what the expression means.
Rewriting it as (8(15-4)/(4×4)) - 5 would show that you know the meaning. You can check that by feeding it into the calculator as well.
Answer: 122.5
======================================================
Explanation:
First thing to do is to find the perimeter of figure B. Add up all the sides and we get: 5+9+9+12 = 14+21 = 35.
The scale factor 7:2 means that if the perimeter of figure A was 7, then the perimeter of figure B would be 2. Or it could be 14 for A and 4 for B. And so on. The idea is that the two perimeters scale up or down together. This allows us to set up the proportion below in which we can solve for x
(perimeter of A)/(perimeter of B) = 7/2
x/35 = 7/2
x*2 = 35*7 .... cross multiply
2x = 245
2x/2 = 245/2 .... divide both sides by 2
x = 122.5
The perimeter of figure A is 122.5
For this equation
H+1/2= 3 1/4
H is a variable, so it must have a value to it. So it would be 2.75+1/2= 3 1/4
Or 3 1/4 / 1/2 = 2.75
The miller needs 1-3/4 kg (or 1.75 kg) for two loaves.
Therefore the amount of flour needed for 1 loaf is
1.75/2 = 0.875 kg per loaf.
For 8 loaves, the amount of flour needed is
8*0.875 = 7 kg
Answer: 7 kg of flour is needed for 8 loaves.
