Set up a proportional relationship:
xf/1n=(f/5)/(n/3)
xf/1n=3f/(5n) multiply both sides by 1n
xf=3f/5 so
x=3/5
Dave must mix in 3/5 of a cup of fruit with a single cup of nuts.
You could of also just noted that you need to multiply 1/5 times 3 because 1/5 mixes with just 1/3 of a cup of nuts...
Negative five pi divided by two
Answer:
4.4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we are interested in calculating the value of x.
Mathematically, a line that comes from the center of the circle and extends to a chord, divides the chord into two equal parts.
This means what we have is a right angled triangle with the radius being the hypotenuse, the half of the length of the chord as the other side of the triangle.
3.7 is half the length of the chord i.e 7.4/2
Thus;
using Pythagoras’ theorem
x^2 = 2.4^2 + 3.7^2
Pythagoras’ posited that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides of the triangle.
Thus;
x^2 =5.76 + 13.69
x^2 = 19.45
x = √(19.45)
x = 4.41 inches which is 4.4 inches to the nearest tenth
