To solve this problem, you can make a proportion:

3/900 = x/2100

In this case, the x represents the pounds that will be needed to cover 2,100 feet.

The first step is to cross multiply like this:

3 * 2100 = 900 * x

Now you can simply the equation.

6300 = 900x

Now you divide both sides by 900 to cancel it out.

7 = x

So, your answer is 7 pounds.

The value of the digit in the hundreds place in the number 587,349 is 1/10 the value of the digit in the thousands place in whic

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

3000 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The 3 in the hundreds place if the number 587,349 has a value of 300. This 300 is 1/10 the value of the number you're looking for, so if x is the number you're looking for, then

$300 = \frac{1}{10} x$

$300 \times 10 = \frac{1}{10} x \times 10$

$3000 = x$

x is your answer.

In the trapezoid ABCD ( AB ∥ CD ) point M∈ AD , so that AM:MD=3:5. Line l ∥ AB and going trough point M intersects diagonal AC a

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

BC:BN=8:3

Step-by-step explanation:

ABCD is a trapezoid and there is a point m which belongs to AD such that AM:MD=3:5.Line "l" parallel to AB intersects the diagonal AC at p and BD at N.

Now, we know that the parallel lines divide the transversal into the segments with equal ratio, therefore, BN:NC=AM:MD

But, BC= BN+NC

Therefore, BC:BN=(BN+NC):BN

⇒BC:BN=(3+5):3

⇒BC:BN=8:3
