<h3>Answer: RS = 16</h3>

========================================

Explanation:

The ratio QR : RS : ST is equal to 1 : 4 : 5

This means we have the following three equations

QR = x
RS = 4x
ST = 5x

For some positive number x.

Note the ratio QR : RS : ST turns into x : 4x : 5x, which reduces to 1 : 4 : 5 when we divide all three parts by x .

Along with those three equations, we'll also use QT = 40 as well.

Now turn to the segment addition postulate. Plug in the equations mentioned earlier, and solve for x .

QT = QR + RS + ST

40 = x+4x+5x

40 = 10x

10x = 40

x = 40/10

x = 4

So we know that

QR = x = 4

RS = 4x = 4*4 = 16

ST = 5x = 5*4 = 20

-----------

As a check,

QR + RS + ST = 4 + 16 + 20 = 40

which is the same as QT = 40

Therefore, we've confirmed that QR + RS + ST = QT is correct and we've confirmed our answers.

Five more than the quotient of a number and 3 equals 2.

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

$\large\boxed{\dfrac{n}{3}+5=2\ or\ n:3+5=2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{n}{3}+5=2\\\\\dfrac{n}{3}-\text{the quotient of a number}\ n\ \text{ and 3}\\\\...+5-\text{five more than}$

If you want a solution:

$\dfrac{n}{3}+5=2$ <em>subtract 5 from both sides</em>

$\dfrac{n}{3}+5-5=2-5$

$\dfrac{n}{3}=-3$ <em>multiply both sides by 3</em>

$3\!\!\!\!\diagup\cdot\dfrac{n}{3\!\!\!\!\diagup}=(3)(-3)\\\\n=-9$

Find the solution of the differential equation that satisfies the given initial condition. (du)/(dt) = (2t + sec^2 t)/(2u), u(0)

Delicious77 [7]

Ah okay so in differential equations you usually want the top variable isolated. To do this, multiply by dt and 2u and you get
$2udu = 2t + { \sec(t) }^{2} dt$
Now just integrate both sides. The integral of 2u with respect to u is u². The integral of (2t + sec²(t) with respect to t is t² + ∫sec²(t)dt. The last part is just tan(x) because d/dt(tan(t)) is sec²(t) so just integrating gets us back. Now we have
${u}^{2} + c = {t}^{2} + \tan(t) + k$
Where c and k are arbitrary constants. Subtracting c from k and you get
${u}^{2} = {t}^{2} + \tan(t) + b$
Where b is another constant. To find b, just plug in u(0) = -1 where u is -1 and t is 0. This becomes
$1 = \tan(0) + b$
tan(0) is 0 so b = 1. Take the plus or minus square root on both sides and you finally get
$u = \: { {t}^{2} } + \tan(t) + 1$
But Brainly didn't let me do but juat remember there is a plus or minus square root on the left.

A survey of students at a university shows that 3out of 4 drinks coffee. of the students who drink coffee, 1 out of 5 add cream

Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

1200

Step-by-step explanation:

The number who drink coffee is 3/4 of 8000, so ...

... (3/4)×8000 = 6000.

Of those, 1/5 add cream, so the number of coffee drinkers who add cream to their coffee is ...

... (1/5)×6000 = 1200.

_____

<em>Alternate solutions</em>

We have computed ...

... (1/5)×((3/4)×8000) = 1200

Since multiplication is associative, you can multiply the fractions first, if you wish:

... ((1/5)×(3/4))×8000 = (3/20)×8000

... = 24000/20 = 1200

... = 3×(8000/20) = 3×400 = 1200
