Answer:

Her error was multiplying numerator by numerator ( that is Quantity of Bone-shaped treats)

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarah's calculation

Let

x = cost of 12 Bone-shaped treats

Quantity of Bone-shaped treats : price

5 : 3.5 = 12 : x

(5/3.5) = (12/x)

Cross product

3.5x=60 (Here is her error)

x=17.14

Correct calculation

Quantity of Bone-shaped treats : price

5 : 3.5 = 12 : x

5 / 3.5 = 12 / x

Cross product

5 * x = 3.5 * 12

5x = 42

x = 42 / 5

= 8.4

x = $8.4

Her error was multiplying numerator by numerator ( that is Quantity of Bone-shaped treats)

Instead of multiplying Quantity of Bone-shaped treats by cost

Answer:

Sarah multiplied the denominator by the denominator and the numerator by the numerator instead of finding the cross products. The equation should be 5x = 42, so the cost should be $8.40.

If the parallel sides of a trapezoid are contained by the lines and , find the equation of the line that contains the midsegment
Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

Equation of midsegment line: y = (-1/4)x + 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the parallel sides of a trapezoid are contained by the lines:-

y = (-1/4)x +5 and y = (-1/4)x - 1

Midsegment of any trapezoid is the line segment

1. that is parallel to pair of parallel side of trapezoid and

2. that passes through the middle of the trapezoid and cuts the other two sides into equal-half.

It means the midsegment would have same slope as the parallel lines and y-intercept would be in the middle of intercepts of parallel lines.

So y = mx + b

where m = -1/4 and b = (5 - 1)/2 = 4/2 = 2.

Hence, the equation of midsegment would be y = (-1/4)x + 2.
