Answer:
C. ⁵/12= ²/x
Step-by-step Explanation:
Given that rectangle EFGH is similar to rectangle JKLM, it means the corresponding sides of both rectangles are similar, and as such the ratios if the corresponding sides of rectangle EFGH and rectangle JKLM would be equal.
Thus, EF/JK = FG/KL
Since, EF = 5; JK = 12; FG = 2; and KL= x, therefore, the proportion to use in finding x would be:
⁵/12= ²/x
Answer:
The area of the country is 17 square miles
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the population density of the country. We employ the use of a mathematical formula. This can easily be obtained from the units of the density
The population density = Population of the country/area of the country
Since we are to calculate the area of the country, the equation becomes
Area of country = Population of country/population density of country
Area of country = 4288/257
Area of country = 16.68 square mile
To the nearest square mile, the Area of the country = 17 square mile
If you set you the equations such as 3c+5w=23 and 6c+2w=20 and then solve the first equation for c, you get c= (23-5w)/3 Taking that equation and substituting it for 'c' in the second equation (so the second equation becomes: 6((23-5w)/3)+2w=20 ) you get w=3.25 If you plug that back into your first equation (so it now becomes: 3c+5(3.25)=23 ) you get c=2.25 So the answer would be walnuts cost $3.25 per lb and choc. chips cost $2.25 per lb.
34 x 2 = 17 x 4
answer = 4
Substitute -2 in for x and get (9)^-2
Flip the equation so that the exponent is positive and get 1/9^2
Work it out 1/(9*9) = 1/81
